However if you go with a plural you may use genitive because as I said many cars can be considered just as a part of something bigger. Like you want two cars out of those 5 cars. See the logic?

Я хочу красные машины and Я хочу красных машин are both possible

If you're a monster who eats cars, you might say:

я хочу машины

"I could really go for some car right about now."
