Dodge Charger SRT-8

Go to any auto show around the world and you’ll always see lovely ladies showcasing cars for the manufacturers. As would be expected, the ’11 New York International Auto Show at the Javits Center was full of ’em, but it goes without saying because it’s Manhattan – there’s so many good-looking people in the city.

Volkswagen Golf R

Don’t believe me? I dare you to find a place that has such a high concentration of hotties. Whether it’s the aspiring model type at the auto show, the Edie Sedgwick ingenue wanna-be in the Lower East Side who falls for tattooed Larrys in skinny jeans, or anything in between, they’re everywhere.

It really gets disgusting when you stop by the Whole Foods Market in Union Square to pick up some overpriced turnip and you have to run away screaming because you feel like Rocky Dennis.

But rather than induce myself into a fit of self-loathing, perhaps I can get the girl by saving up my Benjamins for the car above or one of these below:

Volkswagen introduced a brand-new Golf last year and did away with the Rabbit entirely. While my heart is still with rear-wheel drive, it’s hard to argue with the practicality and power of this Golf. However, the price is a different story, not to mention the fact that these women originally wanted their photo by a Touareg. Game over!

Fiat 500

Fast Five Charger

With Fiat’s reintroduction in the US, they have to get over a-lotta “Fix It Again Tony” jokes. With the Cincoquento (which means “500” in Italian, presumably the number of cc’s the original 500 had in the 1950s), Fiat is out to change the minds of Americans.

For performance buffs, there will be the 500 Abarth, but this cutie prefers the original, the one dating from the 1970s.

Maybe you enjoy Vin Diesel’s exploits, but I think they’re kinda hokey. Can you believe he’s on number five already? In no time, he’s going to be surpassing the number of Nightmare on Elm Street sequels.

I feel totally sorry for this woman. She’s stuck in the Jeep display showing off the Compass, which was Jeep’s version of the rolling hemorrhoid known as the Dodge Caliber.

The Compass was drastically improved for 2011 but I still find it difficult to think of it as a Jeep. Dear madam, I’ve come here to save you from automotive boredom – hop into my…uh, Jeep Wrangler “Call of Duty?”

Audi A7

Audi TT RS

Here’s China’s favorite car guy, Mao Geely (no relation), telling over a billion people that this Audi A7 has room for the whole family plus another family.

Can you imagine the advertising campaign? Audi. Fit for two families. With only one child per household, how could it not be successful?

But this Audi TT RS would be a tough sell in China because there’s only room for two adults. Maybe it’ll be the favorite of the DINKS? I know it’s that way in America.

And now that the RS version will be available in America for the first time, 0-60 in 3.6 seconds isn’t too far away. I think all-wheel drive would be an adequate Plan B for rear-wheel drive – don’t you?
