There almost isn't an idiot proof camera unfortunately. :( If you can take a great composition of a car, you can make it look just as good if not better than someone with a great camera. When it comes to photography, most photo issues can't be solved by throwing money at the problem. But if you do have some dough, I would invest in at least a Canon Rebel or Canon 50D or 60D to start out with if you are serious about doing pro-sumer photography. If you need one that's consumer and compact friendly I suggest the Canon G11. It also does hi-def video. Or if you have money to burn, get yourself a Canon 5D Mark II.

Love the 3rd Photo Todd! Looks great! These are one of those great examples of driving out to that cool place makes a difference.
Hey Guys, another thing to consider is if you do get yourself a Digital SLR, consider a good Lens. If you like wide outdoor shots like these sometimes having a wide angle like a 16mm-35mm range is helpful.

A vignette was added. Some sharpening was done, but mostly the quality is attributed to a good positioning of what angle the photo was taken in addition to the fact that the haze softened the tones and shadows. You can make just about any photo look good if you spend some time mastering the color, sharpness and highlighting details of the photo. But the best thing to try and do the first time is to come up with a good composition.
There's a ton of programs out there that will do this but the 2 best are Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Lightroom.
