Sixt gets a leg up from Carla Bruni

When car hire firm Sixt were creating their ads for the Citroen C3 Hatchback, they were clearly looking for that certain je ne sais quoi, and how better to provide a little va va voom than with a (little) French flavour?  Thus here we have their latest advert, a cheeky dig at president Sarkozy.

"Be like Madame Bruni, take a small french model"

Car hire firm Sixt uses a bit of Bruni banter

 The pint-sized president isn't unfamiliar with jokes about the height difference between him and his wife - the French love a good blague about Sarkozy's stacked heels,  and the Sun recently ran an April Fool's Day piece claiming the president was to undergo a "stretching" procedure. 

Forget stacked heels... passez-moi the stilts svp!

But apparently this latest jibe has crossed the line with Nicolas, and rumour has it that Sixt might be facing legal action. Someone needs to tell Sarkozy to chill out and be the bigger man... oh.
