If your environmental conscience hasn’t been tickled lately, then you’re probably not living in Australia. Carbon tax looks like it’s coming, or at least that’s what Green groups are pushing for. The Gillard government is evaluating the tax, or an Emissions Trading Scheme; along with either, the car will be demonised, so anyone who wants to drive anything that is somewhat enjoyable is frowned upon. Enter BMW and its EfficientDynamics programme.

The thrust of it is simple – use less fuel, have more fun. You don’t need a hybrid to be frugal. We’ve already seen ED applied in our road tests of the 330d Convertible, the 123d Coupe, the 320d Estate and the X1 xdrive20d. But even more frugal than all of these is BMW’s 118d Convertible.

The new Peugeot 308 coupe cabriolet transforms from sleek coupe to stylish cabriolet in 20 seconds. Low-slung, with an aerodynamically positioned front windscreen, a deeply profiled lower front panel, generously sculpted sides, a newly styled boot lid with spectacular LED rear lights, the 308 CC stands out in the crowd.

The new Peugeot 308 CC is the first model in the range to benefit from Peugeot’s new 1.6 litre 112bhp diesel engine. This new engine is the result of Peugeot’s continual development of its diesel HDi FAP technology, widely acclaimed for its performance and efficiency. This new 1.6 litre HDi FAP diesel engine has been designed to meet the requirements of the new Euro 5 emission standards. It benefits from a number of improvements over the current 110bhp unit with improved performance in terms of flexibility and responsiveness, as well as noise reduction, while at the same time reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
