If you’ve browsed through our Paris Motor Show photo galleries, you’ve probably already noticed a surfeit of models on all of the stands. Though most major US auto shows have shied away from employing comely females in the interest of political correctness, that certainly isn’t the case… attractive models are everywhere you look… and they’re as integral a part of the show experience as ummm…. cigarette smoke.

So are all these pre-production ‘models’ or can they be found in a showroom near you? (or more importantly, me!)

We sent you guys to Paris to cover the CARS!

Ohh Reilly, don’t be so harsh. As my girlfriend pointed out, there are actually cars in these photos. Don’t feel bad, I didn’t notice them (the cars, that is) at first, either.

Come on Reilly. If the only reason we are interested in cars is for the performance and technology we’d be dull.

But as a proper platform for our lovely or as a sign of our prowess to possibles…That’s why we spend the big bucks.

Just kidding.

Sorry, guys… you would not *believe* how much garbage I got from Reilly for this post.

In truth, it was as good as his idea… he’s just a shade bitter now because he’s gotten the chance to see some of what he missed by putting me on this trip.

Only two more years ’til the next one, Rei…

Models? I thought they just grabbed these girls from the street.

So where are the pics of the Salem Slim Lights laying across the Peugeot, showing the long, sleek line? Better yet, Came Wide Menthols splayed out with the Maserati Triton because it’s so cool. I thought the smokes were as integral at these shows as the “comely females”? If these fetching fems can answer questions from the press about the cars they are slithering around then by all means let them wear out their stilletos. Otherwise, hand me a pack, a light and be on your way.

I’ve always been a sucker for a sleek, finely tuned body built for speed and endurance. The cars aren’t bad either.
