Better with or without the car in the image?
Without for me, to much of a distraction.
Definitely without the car, unless you shooting a commercial for that manufacturer.
Additionally, the blown highlights in the clouds and the overall lack of contrast doesn't really appeal to me in either one.

The car "might" work if it was coming into or leaving the frame. Now it is just sitting there creating a distraction - as already mentioned.

Ditto on B; no car is more better.
I like the one WITH the car. It provides movement and shows just how small we are compared to the mountains and lowering clouds.

The exposure (ISO 800 1/640 @ f/20) was 1/3 stop darker than Sunny 16. Some of the clouds are blown out in the JPEG but if you have the raw file it's an easy fix.
On the other hand, f/20 and ISO 800 might be a bit much. f/8 is about the limit to avoid diffraction with APS-C. An ISO of 200 at 1/1000 sec @ f/8 would still give you plenty of DOF and the same look with little risk of noise.
The car adds nothing to the image.
Prefer it with out the car, it detracts from the scene

I'm in the minority. I like A over B. To me the road looks misplaced without the car to add purpose to it.
