It is NOT confirmation bias, because you just got into cars, so you have nothing to confirm yet.

it's Choice-suportive Bias . You bough an android, then it's far better than apple, you bough a nissan, it's now superior to cherokee, You like Jazz so it become a superior musical genre, you drink wine that's now the most fancy drink in the world, etc..

Once you made a choice, you can only listen to things that confirm that choice... yeah retroactively it sound a lot like confirmation bias. hum.
