*The Evening Rush is your daily roundup of auto, gear, and lifestyle news, all in one place. Less time searching, more time driving. Motor on.*

**Automotive**

Volkswagen has dropped the eight-year-long “[Das Auto](<https://www.zigwheels.com/news-features/news/volkswagen-drops-das-auto-tagline/24004/>)” campaign after a push to restructure its marketing strategy in the wake of Dieselgate.

After some very minor cosmetic changes(new wheels, LED lighting), the 6.2-liter [2016 Chevy SS](<https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/2016-chevrolet-ss-gets-slight-styling-updates-on-sale-now.html>) has hit dealerships. The four-door muscle-sedan will start at $48,870.

**Chevrolet**

There are rumors that BMW will announce [an M Performance version of the 7-series](<https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1079408_bmw-m760li-v-12-powered-7-series-m-performance-model-rumored>), reportedly called the M760Li, in the near future. According to (what appears to be) leaked information from BMW’s website, the tuned 7-Series may utilize a V12.

**Gear**

We can be a clumsy. But when you’re holding a $500 iPad, fumbles can get expensive pretty fast. Fortunately, [Urban Armor Gear](<https://urbanarmorgear.com/collections/ipad-pro-cases>) has designed the ultimate iPad case to keep tablets safe and sound.

A good infotainment system is a beautiful thing. It can also be a distracting one. [Exploride](<https://exploride.com/>) is aiming to keep drivers on the right path with its new automotive infotainment display, an HUD system that projects mapping onto glass located on a vehicle’s dash.

**Lifestyle**

Everyone has a car or truck close to their heart. For the 4x4 faithful, that’s often an International Scout. Wear the love on chest with this neat, canoe-carrying IH tee from [Huckberry](<https://huckberry.com/store/huckberry/category/p/26465-john-fellows-x-huckberry-tee>).

If you mechanical movement, you probably love locomotives. Good news: One of America’s best model train shows is currently being held at [New York’s Botanical Gardens](<https://www.nybg.org/hts15/>), scheduled to run until Jan. 18, 2016.
