Shanghai auto fair says adieu to sexy models

Attractive young women will no longer adorn cars at the Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition in April, organizers said on Tuesday.

"Companies should focus on product quality and technology," said an announcement from the organizers. "Auto shows are supposed to give audiences an enjoyment of art. We hope exhibitors promote their products in a healthy and classy way. Activities with low taste and those that violate social morality are prohibited."

Organizers said the decision was made after seeking opinions from exhibitors.
