Twenty three models have been flown into India from Australia especially to man an auto stall. Dressed in sparkling red mini skirts in the cold Delhi winter, they sure are attracting a lot of attention.

While the mantra for the many foreign car companies at the auto Expo seems to be to 'go local', Czech carmaker Skoda wanted to give an international feel to their stall by bringing in Australian models.

"The client wanted to give an international feel to their products and wanted models from Australia to add more glamour to their products since Australia is known for its cultural amalgamation," says Samta Budhiraja of TIC, a marketing firm which has brought down the models. TIC also has seven other clients in Auto Expo.

So what one gets at the Skoda stall besides of course stylish cars including the new 'Fabia', the latest Skoda car to get launched in India, is fine example of Australian beauty.

While Australians are known to be cricket crazy, the girls bright up with mere mention of Bollywood rather than Ponting or even Yuvraj Singh.

"Bollywood is exciting. I love it since it is different from Hollywood films. Also, the dance sequences are amazing,' says Alicia, who proudly claims to have taken part in Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini starrer Baghban.

"I was in a dance sequence for the film," she says.

While King Khan might rule the hearts of many, Alicia gives a thumbs-up for Akshay Kumar.

"I love him since he so natural. He and Hrithik Roshan are great actors and moreover they look more like Hollywood actors than Bollywood," says Alicia.
