Next spring, the Scénic will celebrate its third anniversary. Three years already? It was high time, therefore, to sacrifice to the traditional mid-career reviews ..."More better". The new Scénic is certainly "more better" than the Scénic it replaces. No, do not look in Robert. This barbarism has reason to ruffle the hair. However we must understand.
