First pharma sales, now this.

For decades, automakers have paid glamorous and often scantily clad female models to appear at major auto shows and pose for photos next to their new cars.

But the practice is quickly being abandoned in the era of #MeToo, with carmakers now choosing other ways to attract a crowd at motor shows.

What's the point of free drinks if there's no hotties around?

These feminists and SJWs are taking jobs away from women. Sad.

This has long ago been killed off in other trade shows.

Many automakers now employ "professional product specialists" to work their exhibits. Tasked with answering questions about the cars and brand, they dress modestly and many of them are men.


So the hotties get fired because of #metoo and are then replaced by men?

Vanna White was a booth babe in Atlanta before she went west for fame and fortune. She was worth every penny we paid her. People flocked to our booth to gawk at her.

After enough drinks they are hoping they turn into hotties.

As a heterosexual female, I'm going with the chick on the left every freaking time. Those other two look like a nerd convention just expelled them.

I am happy Nascar isn't getting rid of the cup girls.

damn shame. But if the exhibitors are smart they'll go hire some talent to stand behind their little kiosk and dress sexy but professional.

You'd pass out long before you ingested that many drinks.

It's a shame that we've allowed all the ugly, fat, angry, jealous bitches to run the show

What fricking pussies. You can blame sjws all you want, but I haven't heard any outrage about car girls at places like this.

Seems like an overreaction.
