Cars you never knew existed until recently...

Sorry, missed the fact that the pic showed an S6 - problem of looking at these things on a small screen 
The Mazda Cosmo - oh so 90s, oh so cool and apparently oh-so rapid!

Saw a Renault Fluence in London recently:
never seen or heard of one before or since - I assume it isnt a UK market car?
It looks like they depreciate a little bit ...never seen or heard of one before or since - I assume it isnt a UK market car?

Am I reading that right? Its done 900 miles and dropped from £23k (-the £5k off the gov.) to £7k, if you call it 11k depreciation that's over £12 a mile.On topic edit...I saw a Jaguar XJL today, very imposing.

Once they get to £2k i reckon people will start buying them (or maybe not)
I saw an old Renault Safrane the other day, didn't look too bad for a 20 year old car
Did a bit of googling and they made a Safrane Biturbo from 1994-1996 which had a 3.0 Alpine V6
Only 806 produced only 6 of which remain in the UK

In 1994, Renault launched the high-performance Biturbo version available in RXE and Baccara models. This model featured a twin-turbo, 262 PS (193 kW; 258 hp) evolution of the 3.0 L V6 of the Alpine A610, developed with the assistance of German tuning firms Hartge and Irmscher, coupled with all wheel drive. However, it was only available with a manual transmission, as no automatic gearbox existed anywhere in the world for a transversely mounted engine of that horsepower with AWD. Given that automatic transmissions and V8 engines are strongly preferred in the price class where Biturbo competed, it is not surprising that only 806 Biturbos were made. Production ended in September 1996.

Typing in Safrane Biturbo brings up "RT" and "RN" -DVLA glitch as they are standard 2.0 cars(check the engine) as i fully expected.
Biturbo was model in own right no RT or RN assigned to it.
