 The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI
The Lancer Evolution VI is the most accomplished road going version of any homologation special car ever produced.
It seems that, unlike the previous Lancer versions, the Evolution VI will be easier to purchase (until proof of the contrary) in countries other than Japan, especially in Europe where independent companies and official Mitsubishi subsidiaries import samples and get the necessary paperwork done in order to render the cars street legal.
Although the Lancer Evolution VI is but a small step away from its predecessor, technically speaking, the fact it won in the first two events it took part in (Monte Carlo and the Rally of Sweden 1999) did more than imply that the quality of its engineering and accomplishment had matured.

 Mitsubishi Lancer Parts - Mitsubishi Parts Catalog - Discount Prices
The Lancer (LA series in Australia, where it was called the Chrysler Valiant Lancer initially) was first launched in 1973 and proved to be particularly successful in rallies, a claim that it retains today.
In 1975, the Lancer was complemented by an attractive hatchback coupé called the Mitsubishi Lancer Celeste (plain Mitsubishi Celeste or Colt Celeste in some markets; it was the Chrysler Lancer Coupé in Australia and the Plymouth Arrow in the United States), and sold with 1400 and 1600 cm³ options.
In Europe, the Lancer was not offered in some countries, being too close to the size of the Dutch-built Carisma, so the Evo VII model sold there bore the Carisma name.

 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR - Forbes.com   (Site not responding. Last check: )
This is a company riven by scandals; most recently it had to recall two million Pajeros (a SUV sold in Asia and Europe), and it was revealed that top executives had tried to hide the fact that defects in the vehicle were rampant.
Mitsubishi's finances, meanwhile, could be characterized as "improving." That's a pleasant way of saying that the carmaker isn't quite bleeding to death, since it has only lost $175 million for the first half of the 2005/06 financial year, compared with more than $600 million for the previous fiscal year.
Mitsubishi has a total of four SUVs and one pickup in its current truck lineup, and in total, sales so far this year are under 40,000 units.

Mitsubishi has refined and upgraded the Evo for years now and the car that goes on sale here next spring is, as far as they are concerned, the best version to ever burn rubber.
Mitsubishi has tried to make the car as light as possible, with the use of aluminium panels.
