Women of Paris

American auto shows haven’t fully embraced the idea of “booth babes,” gorgeous women who help show off the industry’s finest new cars and concepts. Some U.S. shows do without booth babes entirely. In Europe, luckily, booth babes are a staple, adding sex appeal to the already pulse-raising display of kickass cars. So we’re extra-grateful that the fine folks at VW sent us to Paris and the South of France to check out the Paris Auto Show and VW’s first-ever hybrid, the all-new Touareg SUV.
