Whether it's the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, the Mondial de l'Automobile in Paris, or the Shanghai Motor Show in China, one thing remains constant: models standing next to cars. We've had a lot of discussions lately about why models are still used at auto shows in this enlightened age, and our best answer is that automakers want the public to feel like they would look this good standing next to a Buick, BMW or Geely automobile. Clearly, this strategy is not lost on the many Chinese automakers at the 2007 Shanghai Auto Show. Our colleague from Autoblog Chinese kept his camera snapping a couple extra frames at each display so he could assemble this Girls of Shanghai Gallery for us, so we hope you enjoy. It's interesting to note the mix of western and Asian models hired for this show, as well.

Holy crap...you guys need to get out more often...there are very few of those girls who even rise above "average" and ALL of them could use a burger or two...jeez...with a billion + citizens thats all they could come up with??
Hamud @ Apr 25th 2007 3:32PM

Wow. Low. Standards.
LMAO, I totally agree with number 9...girls from mainland China aren't really what I would call "hot". Only a couple of them were cute. But I guess some of you are the kind that go for anything Asian (even if it means below average)...

I think its funny how the autoblog chinese site has no comments. where did all the chinese people go?
aliasfox @ Apr 25th 2007 8:33PM
the blurry girl in the fatigues and black tank is quite cute.
jam @ Apr 26th 2007 12:23AM
#12 is a pure racist. Why are girls from mainland china not hot? Are you saying all 600K of them aren't hot?
Let me guess, you only like Hong Kong and Japanese girls?
That's fine, it's called different tastes not low standards (and if your standard is based on where the girl is from, I'd say you have shallow standards, but that's me).

#10:
Are you kidding? Her face looks like a man.
Jackie Chan @ Apr 26th 2007 1:58AM
#15 LMAO Your argument might work if I wasn't Chinese. The funny thing is my gf (who is also Chinese BTW) has the same opinion that I have. We've been to China and the majority are just not good looking at all and most of the girls in this post are pretty average. I just find it funny that some of you are drooling...this is the only one I think is truly hot.
