The import car show is just one aspect of the burgeoning subculture that has sprung up around the idea of taking import cars and modifying them for street racing in the United States.  The spread of the import car scene can now be felt all across the mainstream from movies such as The Fast and the Furious to video games such as the Need for Speed series.

Although much controversy surrounds every aspect of this subculture, the fact that it is here to stay is probably best exemplified by the growth of the import car show industry.  Of course, this growth may have less to do with interest in import cars than with interest in that other topic so near and dear to the hearts of young men.

Go to any import car show, or any web site containing information about an import car show, or pick any magazine about import cars and you will be greeted by the smiling faces and scantily clad bodies of beautiful girls who have come to be known as import models. Import models pose for sexy photos that are found on web sites and in magazines, but they also make personal appearances at import car shows around the world.

The popularity of these girls almost rivals the popularity of the modified cars they are usually photographed posing over. In fact, many of the models who got their start making personal appearances at an import car show now have their own web sites.

Of course, cars and girls have gone together since long before Bruce Springsteen made a career out of singing about their connection to each other. And car magazines have always featured buxom beauties posing on hoods and roofs, so it should hardly be surprising that import car shows continue to make use of attractive young women.

What is different, however, is that where in the past the women who appeared on the covers of car magazines were relatively anonymous and interchangeable, today’s import models have become a prime drawing attraction. In fact, it is not going too far to say that many of the males who attend import car shows are there not to see the latest in car modifications, but their favorite import model. Import car shows have become a showcase for models of the living and non-living types.

The import car shows have become a jumping-off point for a whole new genre of models. And the fascination with these girls doesn’t end when the import car show leaves town. Not only do most of the girls have their official web sites featuring bios, interviews, and, of course, sexy photos, but fan sites dedicated to import car show models have also been popping up over all the internet.

Clearly there is a connection being made between the import car show, the import model and the internet. As these girls become ever more popular, expect to find the import car show becoming an ever more integral part of the import car subculture.
