1999 Renault Mégane in England.

The first Mégane was unveiled in the fall of 1995, and was intended as a replacement for the Renault 19. The car was essentially a reskin of its predecessor, and carried over the 19's floorpan, engines, transmissions and chassis design, albeit with much modification. 1997 saw the introduction of the Mégane Scénic MPV. Taking its name from a Renault concept car which was shown in 1988, the Mégane further developed the new corporate styling theme introduced by Patrick Le Quement on the Laguna, most notably the "bird-beak" front grille - a styling cue borrowed from the legendary Renault 16 of the 1960s. As with the 19 and the 11 before it, the Mégane was produced in Renault's Douai plant in northern France.
