After making the HDR, I put a bleach bypass effect on to push the highlights, crush the blacks and desaturate the colour. I then pulled some of the orange back in for the Beetle on the left.
It was only after posting this that I started reading the forums on here and learned that cars are not looked well upon as subjects of HDR photography. Oops! :)
It's an interesting illustrative effect but the purist in me doesn't want to see total white in anything other than reflections of the sun in metal or glass (or the sun itself). 7/10

I like the processing on this one. Stepping outside the norm is a good thing. I find it hilarious that one car is covered with snow while another has the top down :) 8/10

I read that wrong because I always thought car made great subjects. Snow made it even better.
