Studs and Duds

Auto shows are a lot like modern beauty pageants. Contestants (cars) are supposed to be judged on talent and poise, but let's face it, nobody ever won a pageant for how well she twirled a baton. The 2008 Paris Auto Show is no different, and although everyone tried their hardest, only a few make the final cut, and if you're going to stumble as you walk down the runway or profess that you want world peace – or a cleaner planet – you'd better have some looks to back it up, baby
