The new BMW i3 EV (pictured) will be subsidised until 2017. The subsidy of up to £5000 paid to buyers of electric cars has been with us for three years, but it hasn’t had much impact on EV sales and it did look like the government had decided to scrap it all together.

Vauxhall ADAM Black Edition and ADAM White Edition – ‘Smartphone on Wheels’

Vauxhall ADAM Black Edition and ADAM White Edition – 250 being built It’s no secret that Vauxhall want the ADAM to be as individual as possible, despite its rather generic appearance, so apart from a plethora of customisation options Vauxhall will be churning out regular limited editions – just like MINI and the Fiat 500. The latest limited editions are the Vauxhall ADAM Black Edition and ADAM White Edition which, say Vauxhall, offer even more levels of personalisation and takes many design cues from the Smartphone. That’s because, as Vauxhall claim, the ADAM is the best connected small car in its segment and the ADAM White and ADAM Black come with IntelliLink infotainment system and Siri eyes free as standard with controls in black or white with brushed aluminium accents, just like a typical smartphone.
