Note the pics of the Caddy in a previous post. Almost all of them are taken at a level most humans don't view a car from ie BEND your knees and get down there.
A black car must be spotless to photo well.
I'd even go so far as to say rain may help you. Wash the car, go out and find a place to take the pics, wait for it to stop raining for a while (in between showers), dry off the car and shoot it before it starts raining again. Clouds offer a lot of indirect light which is what you're looking for.
Outside you may be correct, but inside shots are still poor. I think part of the problem is I have fluorescent lights overhead and big window bright sunlight behind me. Closing the blinds doesn't help. Have to do a lot of color correcting and it still doesn't look right. But if I can get off Auto, that will be a big help. And get lights.
