“What do you think of the Renault Megane, Cyril?”
“They've pulled it off again! A fresh interpretation of the the rear end of a hatchback; even the reverse rake rear screen works in a way that it never did on the Ford Anglia. But then what do I know? I’m only a stylised comedy rodent character in an unrealistic shade of green.”
