Well for one no one cares what she thinks about cars. Nor will anyone buy a different car or base a choice on impressing her.
What exactly could her motive be?
Well, the showgirl fits the car shown perfectly. Nobody with a sane mind would take a ride a tuned Dacia Logan … or … ah, well you can guess what I mean.
Yeah, but my take is that none of the guys who read this site would look any better in that getup.
I resemble that remark!
I am afraid, her clothes wouldn’t fit me (I am too thin). But if a male would wear her top and would also drive a tuned Dacia Logan, the words printed on it would suddenly make sense! *lol*
Diewaldo :
It’s fun until your friends catch you doing it…
Is it the co-dependent relationship between these two? Or could it be the girl in search of a hot car, or the Dacia Logan in search of a hot girl?
Then it is still fun. And we call it carnival here in Cologne. ;-)

Maybe we should reserve our judgment for auto sheet metal and not extend it to our fellow car enthusiast’s physiques. Is it news that the majority of auto enthusiasts and journos are not pinup material (myself included)? So why is this picture post worthy?
My Eyes! The goggles, they do Nothing!
@Bancho
That and riding mopeds.
@Lokkii
Now remember, these are real fat chicks so I want to see goggles people!
Nothing wrong with her. I just don’t want to see her bingo wings!
I’m not touching this one……..
Well said carguy. Put your picture next to a car Bob so we can comment on you. Now wouldn’t that be fun? Slow CAR news day?
Interesting, this picture looks like this is some kind of backyard tuning firm at an autoshow in some rural part of Russia, but this is actually some German tuning firm at the Essen Motorshow.
This car is Dacia’s El Camino, so this is probably a good match.

I love it when advertisers come up with an idea like this to get people’s attention. I love it even more when people talk about it a lot without realizing they’re doing exactly what the advertiser wants them to do: pay attention.
And yes, I paid attention too. But then again, I work in Advertising.
Comments are funny and mean. I feel bad for laughing.
However, after reading slush’s link, and realizing these ladies got paid to stand there and wear that shirt, the guilt fades a bit.
After all, is this not the opposite of cheesecake comments?
What’s wrong is that car needs a hot girl.
…okay, then, so where’s the hot car in this photo?
I feel sorry for her too, being put in this position, however hopefully she got paid for this, so its OK.
If however she is “one of those” on a mission/has a ’cause’ she’s an activist for, then its more appropriate to laugh hysterically at the gargoyle :)
The woman looks just fine to me.
The car on the other hand wouldn’t exactly be my pick.
I don’t disagree, miss, but you’re standing next to a Dacia Logan.
Great news! The Dacia Sandero brochure has some pictures of attractive people in it!
I think she’s handing out cards that say the same thing as her shirt.
Frankly, making a living from being “not hot” is no different than making a living from being cute.
Some of the journalists at the auto shows are at least okay looking – well, the on air talent is. All the Spanish language tv crews had serious babes for their on air stuff.
…Mom?..
I hope they are paying her a lot of money to stand there and insult herself.
Obviously the boots are all wrong.
Listen…she looks like a nice enough person to me…I just hope she got paid as much as the know nothing hooker with the CL63 AMG…
My parents taught me well to not say (write) anything, if I couldn’t say anything nice. So, I will excercise my right to remain silent.
And a Reliant K does not need hood pins.
These days, the exchange rate between money and dignity has decidedly swung in favor of money.
I’m getting veclempt…. Talk amongst yourselves… I’ll give you a topic:
That Hot Girl is neither Hot nor a Girl.
Discuss.
I agree with the woman in the picture. I never understood the thing about draping cars with women. However I am a gay man. I might feel different if the cars were draped with scantily clad muscley guys.
Woof!
Of course hot cars don’t “NEED” hot girls. Nothing ever “NEEDS” hot girls. Everything is just better with them.
Can we please get the troll out of the picture and put the eye-candy on the hood so things can get back to normal.
Jeez!
