Confused by attributes

Just testing the water with ubercart, and am puzzled by how I thought attributes worked.

I have a toy car, available in three colors. Each color has it's own SKU in our inventory system.
In ubercart do I create 1 toy car or 3? I understand that I can just create 1, and use attributes to change the SKU for the cart, but how does one keep track of Stock levels?

Is there a way for the user to select an attribute, and then have the page updated to show the color chosen?

Sorry for sounding vague.

One.

Stock levels are managed by SKU, so if each color has a different SKU you can track them separately. Use the "adjustments" tab on the product edit page to designate a different SKU for each color.
