Detroit Auto Show (Un)Wrapup: Woman caught naked in late-night rendezvous with Dodge Challenger
We knew from the moment we clapped eyes on the Dodge Challenger concept at its North American International Show premiere that it was one sexy machine. Admittedly, that Daimler-Chrysler chose to reinforce this fact by trotting out Desperate Housewives’ star Eva Longoria didn’t hurt their chances with assembled masses, either.
But that wasn’t enough, at least for one woman. According to the Associated Press, Cobo Hall guards found a female splayed out au natural, sheetmetal-to-sheetmetal with the Challenger at 2:30am Monday morning-- a time when the venue should’ve been sewn up tighter than the panel gaps on the new Lexus LS 460. Authorities found the model encircled by about a dozen rubberneckers with camera phones.
An internal investigation (of the security breach!) is pending.

Oh, I'm sure the folks at Daimler-Chrysler had nothing to do with this pub stunt...

There's nothing like the allure of a Hemi and, uhh... a "pistol-grip" shifter. *wink*

This car is so cool that it doesn't need a female star backing it up.

it's gonna be a viral campaign, with pics of the car and the girl from cell phones spreading like wild fire.
Dodge will deny it, but smells very much like a viral campaign to me.

I'm sure the guys with the camera phones didn't mind. I'm just wondering how they got past the security guards ;)

This is so a hoax!!!! Pics would be on the net by now! I'll say it, there was no naked woman on the car. Totally made up story and publicity stunt! Good call on Daimler's part to steal some of the Camaro's thunder.
