What would you say to a spec'ed-up Volkswagen GTI in a lovely shade of metallic orange? Seriously. It's the Fahrenheit edition, and it's hitting dealerships this week. VW's offering the limited edition to 1200 buyers, who will be asked to pay nearly $28,000 for the privilege of a European sport-tuned suspension, 18" alloys and orange interior trim. Plus, you can have any gearbox, as long as it's DSG. Not sure if that's exactly a bargain, but if your kids were recently featured on "Laguna Beach," we may have found the perfect sweet 16 present.
