Good shots, a little advice though?
Try not to shoot in mid day, light is too harsh and shadows are too hard to smooth out in post processing.
Try shooting a couple hours before sunset, or if you HAVE to shoot mid day, find shade or partly shaded areas (abandoned warehouses, shaded parking lots, overpasses)
Also with your staging of the cars, try and NOT get straight on. Try and stay towards the front or back corners and vary your height when you shoot.
Like so.. BTW these were shot about an hour before sunset.

Kinda boring right?

putting the camera on the ground or close to it…

and then finding a trashcan or stepladder…

Hope this helps!
And the lighting TOTALLY makes all the difference in the world. And IF you can afford it, get Photoshop or at least Lightroom5 to do your PP work.
heres a few I did with LR5

The later ones you are for sure getting better.

This one I would have squatted down, taken a long walk back and moved a bit to the right. If you use a longer lens it will compress the background making it look a lot closer
It works like this
