if you're having issues focusing, find a sharp edge to an object and use your center focus point (canon) to focus on, then move back to where you want to be shooting.
also closing down the aperture will help any sharpness issues once properly focused.
some lenses allow you do do a focus, but allow you to fine tune the focus, so depending what equipment you have, this may also be an option in low light for you.

Not sure if you saw the exif info from the raw file...

Camera's not the greatest model out there, but I don't think it's a slouch either.
I'm wondering if I had the focus box set just above the hood, meaning that it picked up on the building instead of the car?
