Driving a Dodge Charger Pursuit demonstrator painted to resemble a real police car, complete with operating lights and sirens, can be a strange experience, as we noted the last time we did this with a 2012 model. People—other drivers—assume things when they see it simply going down the road or when you stop for coffee or get gas. READ MORE ››
Vehicles Affected: Volkswagen is recalling some model-year 2014-15 Jetta sedans manufactured March 28 to Nov. 24, 2014, model-year 2014-15 Passat sedans manufactured April 7 to Nov. 18, 2014, model-year 2014-15 Beetle coupes and convertibles manufactured March 31 to Nov. 27, 2014, and model-year 2015 Golf and GTI hatchbacks manufactured July 1 to Nov. 20, 2014.
The Problem: A sealing cap at the fuel rail could fail, allowing fuel to leak into the engine compartment. In the presence of an ignition source, a leak can result in a fire.
The Fix: Volkswagen will replace the fuel rails with new parts for free.
What Owners Should Do: VW hasn’t yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners can call Volkswagen at 800-893-5298 and reference recall number 24Bi, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or go to www.safercar.gov for more info.

Over five decades ago, when Carroll Shelby wedged a Ford 260 V-8 into an AC Ace, who would’ve thunk the damn-hard-to-kill Shelby would be in the ground, yet new Cobras bearing his name would still be available for sale? Yet they are. A year after Shelby American announced the 50th Anniversary 289 FIA Cobra, 2015 sees the commemorative launch of that car’s bigger, altogether more monstrous brother, the heavily-mythologized 427.
Like the 289 FIA car released last year, the 50th Anniversary Edition 427 Cobra is delivered sans engine. For maximum authenticity, you’ll want to pick up an FE side-oiler displacing — duh — 427 cubic inches and a four-speed Toploader. Alternately, put a boosted-to-Venus EcoBoost in the thing and utterly befuddle the masses. If you’re an extreme weirdo, source an early AC two-liter straight six. We’ll buy dinner for the first character who pulls that move. We’ll also happily proclaim his or her undying supremacy. Alternately, you can purchase the unspecified powertrain package that Shelby’s currently developing for the car.
Pricing, as you’d expect, nudges itself firmly into eye-watering territory. A fiberglass-bodied roller will set you back $119,995. Adding $60k to your bank draft will snare you an aluminum body with a snappy polish job. Fiberglass cars are finished in Guardsman Blue with Wimbledon White stripes, a classically Cobra-esque color scheme even a grump like Destro could appreciate. Special Anniversary-oriented bits include a 23-gallon racing-style tank, fancier interior materials, special gauges, and unique badges.
Shelby is only turning out 50 examples of the Anniversary 427s, so prospective snake-handlers should prepare to shell out the ducats sooner rather than later. The car will say hello in the flesh at Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale Auction on January 12th. Orders open the following day, leaving metallic herpetologists plenty of time to turn over the couch and hit the Coinstar machine.

Full-size pickups have become so large that a more rationally sized truck seems like a big deal. Indeed, General Motors has been basking in attention for more than two years since announcing that it was bringing all-new mid-size trucks—the Chevrolet Colorado and the GMC Canyon—to market. Now they’re here for 2015, collecting “of the year” nominations all over the media map just for entering a neglected segment that has largely been dominated by 10-year-old designs from Toyota and Nissan.
