Modeling cars?

Got three question's about modeling cars!
1) When you model the car should I also model
the interior or will there be a diffrent model
for that as well?
2) What should be the polly count on the model?
3) Should I have the wheels move freely or should I
put an axle to attach the two wheels?

You could create a detailed interior, but I think handling it would be alot more work. A possibility is creating different interior models for all the mount points on a vehicle, that way each player is given a detailed view but not rendering the others in/on the vehicle. Similar to how Operation Flashpoint handles the armor mounts. Like I said, it'd probably be alot of work. As is, you'll probably want a simple interior (seat, steering wheel, dash, etc) and let the texturing handle the details.
As for poly count, depends on what your aiming for. With LOD you can get a pretty indepth model. More of a balancing act than anything.
