We take some time out from reviewing the latest GPSes to have a look around this year's Australian International Motor Show and find some cars we'd love to be driving, if we had a sack full of hundred-dollar bills.
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X
Although that X indicates that it's the 10th iteration of the Lancer Evolution line, it might as well stand for eXtreme. Like all Evolutions before it, the template is simple: take a mild-mannered Corolla-sized four door sedan, add four wheel drive and a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and -- voila! -- a pocket rocket that can take on Porsches and Ferraris.
To ensure that you don't become at one with the scenery during a spirited drive, the Evolution comes standard with a host of technologies to transform any Joe Bloggs into a Tommi Makkinen. There's -- deep breath now -- ASC (Active Stability Control), ACD (Active Centre Differential, which splits torque front and rear), AYC (Active Yaw Control) and TC-SST (a twin clutch automated manual transmission).
