Handgun on his hip, the Arizona sheriff leans through the shallow driver’s window of Lamborghini’s new hardcore track weapon.

2009 Porsche Boxster S review
Wholesale powertrain upgrades deliver a Boxster S that’s not just better, it’s brilliant…

2009 Holden Calais review
Holden’s new Active Fuel Management system quashes the notion that a big V8 equals big fuel bills. Our run from Sydney to Melbourne on one tank provides the proof.

2009 Mazda MX-5 review
The MX-5 still represents enormous bang for buck in a tight little package.

2009 Mini Cabrio review
Like its pricey stablemate, the BMW M3 Convertible, the latest Mini Cooper S drop-top can put a smile on your dial while you get a 200km/h tan.

2009 VW Golf 103TDI Comfortline review
Four blokes pile into a Mk Vl Golf for a weekend getaway. Good thing the diesel derivative is punchy, swift and, errr, macho.

2009 Porsche Boxster and Porsche Cayman review
Not just a pretty facelift.

2009 Honda Civic hatch review
UK-built five-door has lots to offer Oz buyers … for a price.

2009 Kia Cerato review
Korean Corolla rival benefits from German influence

This week’s Wheels – Ford Fiesta LX
Prized progeny of the blue oval proves good drives can come in small packages.

Fiesta’s worth easy to gauge
Priorities in the Blue Oval’s new world car – safety, performance, fuel efficiency and road holding. How come the gauge needles don’t rate?

LAUNCHED: Lambo Murcielago LP670-4 SV
Lean beef that leaves you very full.

Positive spin – Toyota Prius
Geeks and greenies will love it unconditionally, but can Prius III also woo drivers?

Trued grit – Mazda 3 MPS
The second-gen of Mazda’s wild-child hot hatch is as wickedly potent as the first, but chassis changes have reined in the manic torque steer, and helped deliver handling that’s no longer a handful.

Indecent exposure – Audi TTS v BMW Z4 v Merc SLK 350 v Porsche Boxster S
Who needs sunshine when you have four of Germany’s hottest convertibles ready to unleash in the Aussie Alps?

LAUNCHED: Mini Cooper D
Outstanding efficiency in cute-as-a-button packaging.

The king and I – Porsche 911 Carrera S
Robbo lets rip in the latest iteration of a model that’s both infatuated and infuriated him over the last 40 years. So does the second-gen 997 retain its crown?

LAUNCHED: Audi A5 2.0 TFSI Quattro
Turbo four definitely not on the nose.

LAUNCHED: Volkswagen Polo
New-gen small car ponies up tiny turbo tech.

Bloom times – Lotus Evora
It’s the Lotus built for touring, not just track days. But is the Evora enough to see the British sports-car maker blossom into a mainstream contender?

LAUNCHED: Audi TT RS
Reborn turbo five kicks RS, but chassis misses the sweet spot.

LAUNCHED: Audi S4
Supercharged V6 replaces atmo V8, but no sympathy cards required.

LAUNCHED: Skoda Octavia
Price-leader 1.6 joins value-packed range.

LAUNCHED: Kia Cerato Koup
Good looks and, umm, looks good.
