Idk if you are saying you do want that 28-90mm lens with it or not. I`m not real familiar with it but it looks like it is a Canon brand lens so you should be able to read reviews on it in the reviews section at the top of fredmiranda.com.
As far as the 50mm 1.8 Mk II.. stunning glass for the price (about 85 bucks at b&h). The only complaint anyone has about that lens is its plastic build, but as long as you don`t drop it or anything you should be fine. Otherwise you can look for a used deal on a 50mm 1.8 Mk I, which is a much older lens. Works the same, same glass, but a metal mount. Those 50mm primes both provide fantastic color and sharpness, as well as low-light capability with that f1.8 aperture! It`s all a matter of preference. Some people refuse to buy a prime lens (fixed, like this one @ 50mm), and will only use lenses with some zoom, but then others say, "that`s what shoes are for".
Personally, if you are ok with only 50mm focal length (which should be fine for shooting still objects like cars), the image quality of that 50mm prime will blow the 18-55 kit lens out of the water.
