Saudi dealerships showcase 'feminine' colored cars, women aren’t impressed

Ever since the longstanding driving ban for women was lifted by Saudi Arabia's King Salman last September, women have been getting ready to take over the kingdom's roads with their cars. 

Though many women already took to the streets and were seen behind the wheel - while some were harassed for their "rebellious" actions - they are more than ready for the upcoming change.

As the implementation of the ban lift is near - in June, which is barely a few days away - it seems not only Saudis are preparing for this big moment. 

Car expositions in Saudi Arabia have also geared up with their special "girly" colored cars, mainly pink and purple, in order to attract female customers.

Whether it's out of good intentions or just a marketing strategy to sell more cars, Saudi Tweeps weren't impressed with these colors.

To no one's surprise, Saudi women took to the microblogging platform to let people know what they think.

"We don't like these colors. Most of us like the car to be black or white... stop with your marketing schemes." 

"Retailers' schemes and taking advantage of women."

"Not just the colors, but the exploitation and increase in prices too."

"I would like a black Datsun as a gift for someone dear."

"I prefer a black car and for it to be a gift before the month of 10."

"I would like a yellow car if you please."

"I would take the Audi even if its color is rusty."

"I reserved the pink one from now."

"So we'll be able to recognize women drivers on the street and avoid them."

Saudi Arabia's King Salman issued a royal decree granting women the right to drive in September last year. 

The order ended a longstanding policy that banned women from driving in the country. The ban had been heavily criticized by international campaigners and women's groups. 

In recent months, Saudi women have been getting ready to get behind the wheel, attending driving lessons and prepping up to officially own the kingdom's roads.
