Default Horizontal UITableView or UIScrollView?

First of all, hello everybody,
This is my first post on the iPhone Dev SDK forum, just joined today, looking forward to get some help form the pros and also (hopefully) contribute some myself when I get the hang of it

I have just started looking into iPhone programming, so I am totally green on this part, but so far I have done a bunch of tutorials, been through the Xcode UI, and ordered a book on iOS5 development, so I am getting better at finding my way around

I like the storyboard way of programming in Xcode 4.2, hopefully I can use some of this for my first app.

Back to the question.

TL;DR
I want to make a simple app that shows some car brands (images and labels) in a horizontal scroll window. When you select a car brand, then all the models for that brand is shown in a window below also in a horizontal scroll window. When you select a specific car, you will be taken to a new window showing information about that specific car.

My question is, what is the best way of accomplishing this, is it to use UIScrollViews or a 90 degree rotated UITableView? I have seen some examples for both, but the examples are quite old, so they are not easy to implement in 4.2 (at least for me).

I have a group in Xcode called "ImagesBrands" containing the different brands: audi.png, vw.png ... and one called "ImagesModels": audi_a1.png, audi_a2.png ... I also need to put some description text for the different models somewhere, perhaps in a .plist?

What is the best way to get started with this layout of the app? Hope someone can help.

I have attached an image showing the idea.
