Put Your Clothes On – You Are Under Arrest

Not enough that people in Belgium are losing their appetite for cars (last we looked the market was down 11 percent), now people have even less reason to go to the Brussels motor show: Belgium's equal opportunities minister Joelle Milquet asked carmakers to keep their product specialists fully dressed.

"A motor show is a place where you go with your family, we have to question the stereotypes we are passing on to children and young adults," the minister wrote in a letter obtained by Reuters. The missive was allegedly prompted by lewd behavior on the part of some male visitors at last year's event.

Belgian car federation Febiac, which organizes the annual event, said that following the letter it had asked carmakers to ensure appropriate dress at their stands.

Carmakers assured compliance. TTAC has obtained a preview image of models rehearsing for this year's event.
