...because of the countless protests from the female audience. The first spot, that is.
Synopsis:
The lady in the first ad parks like an asshat because she's a woman, and leaves a "sorry" note with her telephone number, written on one of her Tampax liners. Pure genius. And Renault says: " no, you're doing it wrong! ...just use the cards we prepared only for you, with written: ... please, don't tow my car! ...I wear high heels!" If this is not sexist, I don't know what it is.

My highschool french is working over time, so I just zoned out. I'm guessing it says it comes with free color matched lipstick and excuses for why women can't drive?

This is hilarious! At the same time, it's like a comeback to the 50s...

And There goes any credibility the Twingo may have had as a small, RWD, rear engine hoonable car.
When the manufacturer actually market it using sexism, you know something's not right.

In the boardroom:
"Hey guys, just had a great idea! You know that female market we're trying to get for this cute little car? LET'S INSULT THE HELL OUT OF THEM!"
"BRILLIANT! They can't help but buy our cars once we say they're ditzy high-heel-wearing idiots who bleed once a month and can't drive!"

Holeee Shit! My French is a bit rusty but this doesn't seem to be tongue in cheek. Like: "Hey let's make an ad that it so super sexist that nobody takes it seriously and everybody laughs about it." It's abit too serious for that. Did they really think they could get away with this?

Sigh. I'm not remotely surprised, though.
