Detroit auto show officials are trying to learn who sneaked a tipsy blond woman onto the Cobo Center show floor about 2:30 a.m. Monday to pose nude atop the new Dodge Challenger. “We heard they were all over the Challenger,” said Jason Vines, vice president of communications for the Chrysler Group, “We want people to love these cars but not in that way.” Workers said security guards found the woman posing while more than a dozen others gawked and snapped photos with camera phones. One would expect these images would be all over automotive discussion forums and websites, but so far this is the first we’ve heard of the incident. (Please email us with any new information).

This smells like a publicity stunt to me, it’s awfully convinient for grabbing more attention for the Challenger concept car.
I got the same feeling the last two years when a rapper convineintly called up Dieter (because they had his phone # lying around) to praise his companies work on the new 300 and then the Charger. All DCX had to do was issue a press release about this thing that happened, and then everyone in the automotive press starts talking about thier car.
That’s my hypothesis at least…

It is quite true they’re doing well this year, even without rapper endorsements, people do seem quite fond of the challenger, and at least the detroit new consumer panel is fond of the imperial as well.
Maybe I’m just too skeptical, but it still feels fishy to me, largely because it seems the news is coming from chrysler themselves. Maybe they’re trying to make sure the Camaro isn’t stealing too much of their thunder? You never can have too much attention for a car like that. And I also could be wrong (I really think there’s maybe a 30% chance I’m right, realistically thinking)
I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before the pics are up somewhere, and then we’ll, uh, know more about the situation…yeah…

Well I don’t care if it was or wasn’t a publicity stunt. just so long as they don’t make the challenger into another one of their ugly Ghetto-mobiles.
