    You can pass a string variable like so /PSVar:carNames="BMW, Audi, Ford, Lexus" at the command line. You will then need to split and read each value of the string variable, which then becomes "BMW", "Audi", "Ford", "Lexus"

This can be achieved via scripting in a number of ways, but you need to define your data structure first i.e. the inputs. 

Comma-separated values (CSV), usually contains a set number of columns, first being the header, followed by X number of rows that contains the data.

Year, Make, Model, Trim, BodyStyleName, ChromeTrim
2003, Acura, CL, 3.2 Type S, Coupe, 2dr Cpe 3.2L Type S
2003, Acura, CL, 3.2 Type S, Coupe, 2dr Cpe 3.2L Type S 6-Speed
2003, Acura, CL, 3.2, Coupe, 
2002, Acura, CL, 3.2 Type S, Coupe, 2dr Cpe 3.2L Type S
2002, Acura, CL, 3.2, , 2dr Cpe 3.2L
2001, Acura, CL, 3.2 Type S, Coupe, 2dr Cpe 3.2L
2001, Acura, CL, 3.2 Type S, Coupe, 2dr Cpe 3.2L Type S
1999, Acura, CL, , Coupe, 2dr Cpe 2.3L Manual
1999, Acura, CL, 3, Coupe, 2dr Cpe 3.0L

Read the csv file, and pass the appropriate data to the function - empty values can be ignored
