i think he's looking for picture critique not a car critique.

first you dont need a better camera you need a better location and a better choice of shots.

the pictures look bland and standard. photoshop and the camera are just tools. they're not going to salvage a bad picture.

dont get on the night garage shoot bandwagon.

use a tripod, leave the settings on manual if you dont understand them, and use the shutter timer delay so you wont be touching the camera when it goes off.

go to a car dealership grab some brochures or even just get a 350z brochure and try out those perspectives. brochures are good references because they're trying to sell the car while appealing to your visual senses

agreed with everything but the bold part. even without a tripod, there is enough light there to take a fairly clear pic at a low ISO and fairly quick shutter speed. even if he did have to bump the ISO to get away with not using a tripod, it shouldn't be higher than 400 and shouldn't be as noisy as they are. the pics don't look like they are blurred because of camera shake, looks more like pics from a low end 4 megapixel camera with a small sensor. or his lens is fogged up.

and not that you said anyone was, but i hope the OP doesn't think anyone is crapping on him. it's always good to practice and ask questions, thats how everyone learns!
