Is GM Designer Vicki Vlachakis Hotter Than The Pontiac
Is GM Design Manager Vicki Vlachakis better looking than the cars she designs? 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

I see what you're saying - but - consider the common analogy of a car to a girlfriend...

Attractive, yes, but she's not that hot IMHO. I'd rather the cars.
Also, when I look at the pic of her in the dress sitting in the Solstice, all I can think of is her legs are really white and she needs a tan badly.

Simple for me, my car *has* a warranty
So that analogy doesn't work for me...

Yeah, I agree with the others. Attractive, but definitely not hot. And those pics of her where she looks like she's got a giraffe's neck...yeah, definitely no.

I think she's real cute. Happy Valentine's Day, Vicki 
I'd be happy to keep the cars I aleady have, plus have a chance at getting to know her better, discuss her design ideas, show her some of mine.

If it was to be a one-night stand with her vs. having the car for a day(or a week), I'd take her. If it was owning the car vs. having a relationship with her, I'd take the car.
I could always rent the damn car and feel good about having slept with its mother!

she's a cute/girl next door type of chic you see on a daily basis. Nothing to get crazy about. Of course, over hyped because she doesn't fit the car designer mold (no pun intended).

What Would Don Draper Do?
she looks pretty hot in the first three pics (especially the first one)...dunno about the last three.
with that said, i'd take her over the car too. i think she looks better than the car.
