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

The 2017 Infiniti Q60 coupe debuted at the Detroit Auto Show, and its twin-turbo 3-liter V6 reportedly pushes out a hefty 400 horsepower. Downside? Q coupes will no longer be available with a manual transmission.

Kia has finally debuted interior and exterior shots of its full-size SUV concept, dubbed Telluride. The ute will utilize a 3.6-liter V6 producing 270 hp, with an electric motor kicking in an extra 130 hp. Although the vehicle is not scheduled for production, it is a huge hint at a production full-sized SUV.

Apparently Buick isn’t just for Uncle Mort anymore. Buick just released a Camaro-size, RWD coupe called the Avista. Aside from having a name the sounds like some corporate retreat, the 400-hp coupe is undeniably pretty. “Build it,” says The Drive’s Lawrence Ulrich.

Gear

Behold, an eminently practical iPhone charger. With an extremely thin profile, the ThinCharge iPhone 6/6S Battery Case is the perfect way to double your battery life.

Gear Moose

Simplicity is king and the Best Made Co. Ditty Bag proves that point with flying colors. Made of 10 oz army duck canvas and hand-spliced rope, the Ditty Bag is a perfect daypack to carry your gear.

Lifestyle

You love your sweatpants, but you need to know how to put together a solid outfit. Instead of taking a wild stab at your wardrobe closet, check out this extremely detailed style guide from www.stylesofman.com.

If you are on the hunt for heady brews and in the area of Burlington, Vt., drop everything and get over to Zero Gravity Craft Brewery. With a wide assortment of rad beers and a tap room to match, it’s a journey worth making year ‘round.
