# The Evening Rush for March 10, 2016

*Th**e 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**

[Michael Horn](<https://www.autonews.com/article/20160309/OEM02/160309848/michael-horn-out-as-ceo-at-volkswagen-group-of-america>) is stepping down as CEO of Volkswagen Group after spending six months as CEO during the company’s emissions scandal. Horn is leaving during a significant slump in US sales and during negotiations with environmental regulators to fix 600,000 US vehicles.

If you were always interested in buying a new Porsche but couldn’t afford it, today is your lucky day. Porsche has announced that their [2017 Macan](<https://www.businessinsider.com/porsche-macan-affordable-2016-3>) crossover will start at $47,500 for the 2.0-Liter turbocharged four-cylinder. Although the Macan will have a modest 252hp, reports indicate the crossover will still hit 60mph in 6.1 seconds.

**Porsche**

Ram is cooking up a [monstrous Ram 2500 concoction](<https://www.autoblog.com/2016/03/10/ram-hellcat-pickup-truck-spy-shots/#slide-3827760>) and although we don’t know what it is exactly, the bumper removal and lift kit hint at something with a taste for off-road. Since Ram already makes a trail-oriented Power Wagon, we can only hope that this puppy is a test mule for something with a Hellcat drivetrain.

**Gear**

Usually after you park your car, you walk away totally ignorant of what might happen in your absence. That can be scary. Meet [Carlock](<https://www.carlock.co/>), a simple app that uses a vehicle's OBD port to track location. Plus, it can notify you if the car is broken into or turned on.

Outdoor lounging season is coming up. That means you'll need a comfortable (and portable) chair that can be carried lake-, pool- or mountainside. Fortunately, REI makes the [Mountain Summit Gear Big Dude Chair](<https://www.rei.com/product/876244/mountain-summit-gear-big-dude-chair>), now on sale for 50% off.

Lifestyle

Today’s beer pick takes us to Mount Pleasant, Connecticut and [Westbrook Brewing Company](<https://westbrookbrewing.com/about/>). The brewery is comprised of a small group of beer-lovers dedicated to making tasty suds for New England and the world. Their beers include a delightfully-sour [Gose](<https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/24134/81010/>) that has taken the beer community by storm.

Are you prepared to pull off an aggressive pair of [American flag Vans](<https://sneakerpolitics.com/collections/vans/products/vans-free-bird-sk8-hi-reissue-indigo-tropical-black>)? Vans has released a pair of Authentic Vans that feature Old Glory on the canvas. Show a little passive patriotism when spring arrives. Or, do a Ke$ha salute.
