Commercial for it, up to 40mpg!

Pretty France's answer to the Beetle was the 2CV.

While the Citroen 2CV was in concurrent production with the VW Beetle, I actually think the Renault 4CV was the first response to the Beetle. The Dauphine (arguably derivative of the 4CV) was the export response to Volkswagen storming the world market mid-century.

I like it better than the beetle.
