Did you smooth it? Click on the little "E" next to the model when you select it, then smooth the object...

Heh...I actually didnt even know if that would work or not...It was a lucky guess then :)

Move the smooth to about 45-46% Trust me on this do not smooth all the way to 100% or you notice some stretching on more complex meshes. Here is an example of a mesh original brought in.

notice not much of change

Much better and you can do this by choosing just the mesh you need smoothed like the body, as the wheels and windshield looked just fine. but that will depend on your computer and how large the model for the amount of time to smooth. It's funny cause I was going to post somthing on this and never got around to it thanks for reminding me. Good luck and let me know how this works for you.

It seems like you have lost some definition on the side window , the wheels and the side chrome on the doors on that last one ...Is that the one at 45%?
