I admit it, I watch America's Next Top Model. It's not as good as Project Runway or So You Think You Can Dance, but seems to go through three seasons every year so there's always a new episode to watch. As with any reality show, ANTM is also produced in a number of foreign countries, including Germany, which has a good record of producing runway gals. One of its most successful, Heidi Klum, is the host of Germany's Next Top Model and she's also a spokeswoman for Volkswagen in one of the automaker's recent commercials. Thus, it's not surprising to learn that VW awarded the most recent season's winner in Germany, Jennifer Hof (no relation to The Hof) one of the first production Sciroccos made, while 2nd and 3rd place winners got CrossPolos. In return, Volkswagen got a few of the models to appear in a calendar shoot beside their new sport hatch. Being the stuck up star it is, the Scirocco didn't actually show up for the shoot, and the models instead posed with cardboard cutouts of the car. With an attitude like that, the Scirocco will never reach its goal of becoming Germany's Next Top Model. Check out all twelve months in our gallery below.[Source: World Car Fans]

So, what are they selling? Women or a lightweight toy car for women?

I wonder if that girl's arm hurts, holding a car in a completely anatomically impossible way.

Don't you have some joy to kill?
why not the LS2LS7? @ Jun 10th 2008 9:11PM
I was gonna bitch about the spelling of "calendar" being wrong, but I thought perhaps I'd mention instead that "Detroit" has been spelled "Detriot" in 'Detriot Auto Show Coverage' at the bottom of the page since at least the beginning of this year.

Some of them have such gaunt faces that they could use a burger, or two.

Have you seen the actual american season? ;)
They were so much worse...
But hey, you can´t discuss taste, right?

By the way, the winner (the one with short blond hair) turned 17 two weeks ago!
almost 6 feet with incredible 3ft 8.4inch legs!
