With the addition of a target, the Peers view now include a chart for Vehicle type [type]. The values for the prototypes in that chart are the predicted values. With both vehicles selected in the feature space and 5 nearest neighbors shown, the Peers chart is getting crowded. First, select just newCar in the feature space chart (it's one of the two triangles outlined in red).

That's better. Now you can see that all of newCar's nearest neighbors are cars, not trucks. Now select just newTruck in the feature space chart.

One of newTruck's nearest neighbors is categorized as a car, not a truck; it's the A6. This is understandable because the A6 has price, wheelbase, and length comparable to newTruck. All this suggests that the prototypes fit well into their car/truck categories, and the following views simply provide some more details about the nearest neighbor model and can help you assess whether it is a good model.
