Chevrolet Volt prices announced

GM has revealed that the Volt hybrid could cost $33,500 (£21,000) in the US after government tax credits, making it nearly £2000 cheaper than Nissan’s Leaf electric car. The Volt’s List price is $41,000 (£26,300) but qualifies for a subsidy thanks to its low emissions. A basic Volt comes with Bluetooth and sat-nav but buyers can add leather seats and steering wheel, heated seats, rear camera, polished wheels and park assist.

Spyker Supercar & Spyker ’911′ at Geneva 2013

It seems that Victor Muller is planning not just a Spyker ’911′ for Geneva, but a Spyker ‘Supercar’ with oodles of power too. We discovered last year that Victor Muller has picked up the reins at Spyker once more, dragged in some investment from China and was working on the return of the Spyker D8 Peking-Paris super SUV (that started life as the D12). But, as this is Victor Muller, there are more grandiose plans in play.

2011 Peugeot 308 facelift arrives

2011 Peugeot 308 Facelift - sans big gob When we reviewed the Peugeot RCZ last summer, Claire commented that it was a shame the RCZ had come along before Peugeot actually got on with dumping the big-gob front end. And she was right, but at least that roll-out of a new, more refined look is underway with the reveal of the 2011 Peugeot 308. That bulbous and unattractive nose has gone the same way as Tom Jones’ 1960s big hooter, to be replaced by a slimline and elegant new look.
