The first thing with this advertisement that Jean Kilbourne would object to would be that the woman is sitting in a weird position posing in this car. She said that women in ads are almost always sitting in or standing in weird positions. She would object also to the fact that the woman is really thin and changed to look like she is perfect. She said that women in ads are always changed to look perfect because they can't have big thighs and waists because that simply isn't allowed. She would also object to the fact that this ad could be focusing on her breasts to try and sell the car she is sitting in. She said that women in ads usually have the ad focusing on her breasts because they can sell everything.
I agree with what you say about the models always have to be perfect. It really does look like she has been enhanced to look perfect. Also, her pose is slightly reserved showing a sign of weakness that Kilbourne pointed out.
