2016 Silverado Rally Edition launched

Let's face it, there's really nothing sporty about the Silverado 1500 Rally Edition. Chevrolet's latest special pick-up does gain some conspicuous cosmetic changes, though.

In fact, two versions are being offered. The Rally 1 – which is based on the Custom trim grade with a Double Cab – features body stripes, a set of black 20” five-spoke wheels and a spray-in bed liner.

Alternatively, the Rally 2 takes the more upmarket LT Z71 Double Cab or Crew Cab as a starting point. The same graphics and bed liner are applied, but the wheels get upgraded to 22” six-spoke items and side steps are fitted too.

In the United States, opting for the Rally 1 package will add $1,095 to the Silverado's invoice. Inexplicably, the equivalent Rally 2 figure is $4,995.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
