I would think that your initial view should be just to the left of the intended object that you want to display. This way..at first the visitors scrolls into the view.
By default the viewer initial view is the zero '0' point in the panorama. Zero is defined as 50% from left to right and 50% from top down or dead center of your image. If you want your interest point to begin say 45 degrees to the left of center you need to add a <parameter value that places the initial view -45
PARAM name = pan value = -45
And then let the viewer roll into the actual view you want the visitor to see.
Otherwise.. the initial view will immediately display the car.. and then begin to leave the view. And the visitor will have to waste time to figure out how to get back to the interest object - 'car'.
I would definately not start your initial view showing a blank wall unless it had a sign on it saying CAR YOU WANT TO SEE IS OVER HERE --->>>>.
I know of no documentation that madates that the first view is always North. Actually stitching your first image seems to always be split 50% - 50% on left and right end of the final stitch. 2nd image seems to fall in the middle of a 3 images set.
