The glamour and beauty industry is changing even faster than the automotive one. Do you think hybrids are difficult to live with? Try Playboy without the nude photos as from now on, the bunny magazine will leave us wanting to see more of its models. At the same time, Sports Illustrated is becoming more provocative.
We're not complaining. As subscribers of their YouTube channel, we've got to say that it's hard to stay focused with all those incredibly good looking women parading in tiny bikinis on exotic beaches.

2016 marks the start of a new era for SI as well, as they just did their first photo shoot with a plus sized model. And she's not plus sized in the Kate Upton or Charlotte McKinney kind of way. No, they say Ashley Graham is the typical American body size, a 12.

Sports Illustrated cover model Hailey Clauson is not plus-sized. She's just your regular unobtainable beauty that poses next to a car. But it's not a Ferrari or a Lamborghini, just the Lexus RX, the official luxury crossover for getting home safe.

We've known about this photo shoot since early February when Lexus released the video below. However, we couldn't get the photos until SI went to print. It's not often that we get to see such photos being taken with a car, especially a Lexus crossover. But be advised, some bosses may think this gallery is not suitable for work.

Thanks to the F Sport cosmetic package, the RX sports a black grille, lowered suspension, bigger wheels and tinted windows. It's not a bad looking machine, especially with white paint and red leather. And thanks to the longer wheelbase, Hailey has room to stretch her stilettos in the back seats. Ever wondered what a supermodel would look like stretched over the hood of your family car? Well, wonder no more and mozy on over to the photo gallery below.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
