Wow, this thread is getting more and more interesting :) Ibanez, i think you are working with the wrong program. Vue d'esprit, as was said here before me, cannot do this type of renders. You'll need a good global lighting solution, and a razor-sharp renderer. C4D, Lightwave, Softimage, Max. Well, the big guys. Vue was intended to be a simple, easy to use (and cheap!!) landscape program. You can do wonderful art with it, and this community is the proof, but those sparkly swooshy sleeky car renders were never its strong point. As Patrick said here, photorealism is pretty much in the eye of the beholder. One looks for the perfect reflective car paint gloss, while the other looks for dirt, grit and imperfection. Personaly i stopped saying wow over those perfect renders as they have become almost mundane in the world of 3D. I get much more excited seeing an image which conveys a feeling, a mood, an atmosphere, a story. However, this type of photorealism is very much appreciated in the professional 3D world, where it's realy needed for industrial design and visualisation. But then again, you'll have to work with a "high end" program.
