Not much choice for modern-day autos at Daz3D
During the Power Up sale I happened to notice that nearly all the models for automobiles at Daz3D are for vintage designs. The contemporary ones are all deluxe models that no middle class commuter might be expected to use. Car models change quickly and can become dated rapidly, but to illustrate a common modern day street scene one has to go elsewhere to try and find appropriate autos. I think one could go a long way with just one master car model that can be supported by multiple morphs.
Another area that the stores are weak in are historical military uniforms. The coverage is very spotty. It's a tough subject, I admit. There have been many eras of combat, and many variations of uniforms even within one army in one war. An artilleryman does not dress like an airman, for example. And textures are needed; soldiers on active duty tend to get ragged and dirty. And if one gives the uniforms for one army, it does little good unless the uniforms for the opposing army are also given, and in just about equal detail.

I don't make cars myself, but I have a feeling it has a lot to do with copyright and trademarks. DAZ are very tough on policing PA products for infringements, and I know they've refused models in the past for copyright reasons.

FWIW, low poly models, not real cheap, but lots of variations:

Note there is a free sample of an Infinti M45, and many other libraries of low poly vehicles - Asian & European cars, SUV's, etc.
Twenty lo-res vehicles for $17.

Only check the middle five menus.
Keep in mind however: no moving parts/only .lwo/a few models do not have an interior.
