Jalopnik Question Of The Day: Is GM Designer Vicki Vlachakis Hotter Than The Pontiac

http://jalopnik.com/cars/question-of-the-day/jalopnik-question-of-the-day-is-gm-designer-vicki-vlachakis-hotter-than-the-pontiac-solstice-235866.php

Is GM Design Manager Vicki Vlachakis better looking than the cars she designs? :yup: GM should use her for the comercials:D

We'll call it the Ralph Gilles Effect (we're comfortable enough to admit he is better looking than a Chrysler 300, if just barely). Vlachakis is the pen behind the recently launched Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky convertibles.

Described in this flattering Freep article as "Part car geek, part Malibu glam girl," her work has definitely been turning heads. House & Garden magazine recently named her one of America's top 50 tastemakers, but we must ask... is she to your taste? More importantly, is she more tasty than the car she helped design -- the Pontiac Solstice?

To put it in perspective, we've provided both a Vicki Vlachakis gallery below (provided by the always big pimpin' GM) and we'll use Ford design guru Peter Horbury, seen here, as the control subject for "average looking car designer." – Matt Hardigree

So...exactly how m any people had direct involvement with the design of the Solstice?
First it was Nesbitt who helped add the curves of a Euro roadster, then there was that guy who went to Mazda, VanSomething was his name. Now we have this very beautiful girl that comes out of no-where!

I find some of the comments down the page funny and a little inappropriate. But, she is really HOTTT. I think both have their merrits. You can play with the Pontiac's shifter and you can....oh never mind I will leave it up to your imaginations. : )

Yeah really. I used to work in a office with a lot of attractive women. I am going to tell you right now, it adversely affected my productivity. It got to the point where I had to just not leave my cubicle haha. I mean, you can't walk around the office with wood all day.

The car is topless in these pictures, so I can't compare them unless you find pictures of her topless also.
Priceless!
