 The wagon was introduced with the facelift in early 1999, so most probably 2000.

 Don't look at me like that. Have you seen the lengths Toyota goes to?

Renault is normal compared to them! If they're not going to put years on the front of their brochures, their common graphical layout is our best bet if we want to bring order to French MYs and get behind their implied model years.

 For the rest of the range my reaction was the same as dsl and RedBoy :lol: but was the wagon introduced later in all markets? I checked and here the hatch/Classic/Coach (Coupé)/Cabriolet debuted in March, and the wagon's first price list was September 1999; it entered together with the Scénic, which we round up to 2000, so, at least for Italian market, should be the same :D
@AleX_DJ, do you know more introduction dates? :hello:

It seems that there were two stages for its introduction: one with the other facelifted models in early 1999 (Mar/Feb) and another one in late 1999 (Sep/Oct), maybe for the markets where the Scénic was selling too strong? :think:

That's an original name... :whistle:

 Yes, I always thought so indeed :) I don't know why the name Grandtour has never been used in France, I think it also sounds pretty good

Anyway, 'Break', despite being an English term, is a traditional French way of defining estate cars. Originally it was the name of a horse-drawn carriage, also spelt 'brake' since the late 19th century (the same etimology as 'shooting brake', which in the pre-automobile era was a carriage adapted for transporting hunting rifles and dogs).
The use of the name 'Break' for estate cars in France started around the 1960s, replacing the usuals names 'Commerciale' and 'Familiale', and was the standard name in particular for the then PSA estate cars until the early 2000s

 Thanks for the research :) yes, I guess the reason was that one, at least here it was so. When I can I will move up wagons for those markets to 2000 ;)
