ROTF,LMAO ... Taka, what is photography without some creative interpretation of the subject? What you've described is like the difference between a mug shot and a portrait.
Photos of cars can be greatly improved by creative techniques such as angle of view, focal length of lens, lighting, time of day, etc. Just zooming in and out will get a nice snapshot, but thinking a bit beforehand, complimenting the lines and the shape of the car with the proper focal length, DOF, perspective, and the like can take an ordinary, and often bland, picture and turn it into a wonderful photograph. You're absolutely right, though ... if all you want is a snapshot, any old zoom will do that allows you to frame the car.
