Answer 1

You might process the value of car via an AJAX call and redirect the response from your bean class.

<p:selectOneMenu id="car" value="#{selectOneMenuView.car}">
        <f:selectItem itemLabel="Select One" itemValue="" 
            noSelectionOption="true" />
        <f:selectItems value="#{selectOneMenuView.cars}" />
        <p:ajax listener="#{selectOneMenuView.someAction()"
            process="@this" partialSubmit="true" />
</p:selectOneMenu>

And within your bean class something like

  public void someAction() {
        String location = "page"+car+".xhtml";
        FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()
            .getExternalContext()
            .redirect(location)
        ;
    }
}

I would append an AJAX on change event to the selectOneMenu which calls a method on your bean and redirects through it similar to a combination of the respective accepted answers of selectOneMenu ajax events (AJAX event) and Sending a redirect from inside an ajax listener method (redirect).
