The auto industry is no dummy, and it realizes the best way to get the attention of sleep-deprived auto journalists, who often happen to be male, is to display its vehicles next to attractive models. Frankfurt was no different than any other show in this respect, and we couldn't find a single automaker that hadn't hired at least a few models to lean on their cars (we didn't look that hard them, honestly). Of course, we came to Frankfurt to see the cars, so in most cases we tried to shoot both the model and the car in the same frame. Zoom, however, was used on occasion. Check out the gallery below to see the Fräuleins of Frankfurt 2007.

Wow, they're either really, really hot or really, really ugly. I like that-- it tells you which car is better. Yup.

I agree, not much talent there (with a couple of notable exceptions).
PS: Who's idea was it to sneak in the picture of the dudes?

Booth babes are stupidly distracting.

nothing says "I lost a bet" like a black and yellow checker flag jumpsuit! '80s rule!

There seems to be some inconsistencies between hot cars and hotties. I quite like the blonde ford lady, the lambo girls in those jumpsuits (with the zips that go ALL the way down ;) ) and those lasses stood around that little white Chevrolet. But there are some real munters in that mix. And looks like Mazda spent most of its marketing budget on girls. Lots and lots of girls.

maybe i'm too picky but i'm rarely impressed by booth babes. there is on notable exception. one of the Jeep's ladies at the 2007 Detroit show. she had me catching feelings!
i'm going to have to find that picture i took of her.

Surely Germany has hotter looking women than this. What a sorry bunch, some are downright scary.

I have to tend to agree with this one. ;) That IS a beautiful woman.
And yes, I do think that hot cars and hot women go together. I'm a man, can't help it, no PC policy is ever gonna change that. :)

I've found that almost all women are beautiful when they're lying on their back with their legs positioned just so... so give these girls a break. ;-)

When Autoblog posts pics of all these mannish girls in the position you described, then well know if you're correct.

How about more hunky men for the straight ladies and us gay guys?

Hmm, what's up with all the breastless women? What do they eat in Germany?

European women are like men in drag.
