Audra Baltrukonyte, salesperson at MK SEAT. Click to enlarge.

Meet Audra Baltrukonyte. She's a 21-year-old Lithuanian model and student, who also happens to be a salesperson at MK SEAT in Milton Keynes. As the photo attests, Audra's a pretty girl, and according to the PR folks at SEAT UK, she is an effective salesperson who frequently outperforms her compatriots at the dealership. Somehow, this does not surprise us.

A self-professed car nut (the 'thud' you heard was thousands of male readers collectively swooning and then hitting the floor), Audra says that she finds women are more comfortable dealing with her, but that most of her sales are to men "who only commit to buying the cars long after they've stopped caring what I look like!"

The "stopped caring" strikes us as being a bit of a stretch. Men may commit to the sale and be ultimately swayed by her knowledgeable approach, but we'd gamble that the looks never stopped being noticed. In fact, we're quite sure we know some guys who'd buy a car with no engine from this woman. Moving the wretchedly ugly Altea Freetrack should be a piece of cake.

The press release SEAT issued (yes, you read that correctly -- a press release -- its pasted in full after the jump) is priceless, too. Think a line like the one below would ever make it past legal here in the States?

"...not only has the 21-year-old set pulses racing among customers and colleagues, she's also set sales figures alight..." (Emphasis added.)

You can't make this stuff up...
