*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**

[Cadillac](<https://www.autoblog.com/2016/04/27/cadillac-small-sedan-chevy-cruze-delta-platform/>) is flirting with the idea of bring a front-wheel-drive compact sedan to market to compete with the Mercedes-Benz CLA. The compact sedan would be based of the Chevy Cruze and priced between $23k-$33k.

Everyone take a deep breath: [Jaguar may not be killing off sportbacks](<https://www.autoblog.com/2016/04/27/ian-callum-jaguar-wagon-followup/>) (wagons) entirely. Jaguar design boss Ian Callum, wanted to clarify that there would be no sportback XE, but didn't discount an XF with a roomier trunk.

Spy shots indicate that an [800hp Ford Mustang](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/3216/an-800-horsepower-shelby-gt500-mustang-might-be-in-the-cards>) might be in the works. This monster would be badged as a Shelby GT500 and give Mopar's Hellcats a good run for pinks. Rumors hint at a twin-turbo V8.

**Gear**

Since drones have really become popular, manufacturers have started to get clever with their designs. A Chinese based company, [Zero Zero Robotics](<https://gearjunkie.com/zero-zero-robotics-hover-camera>) has made a catchable drone that follows you, using an app to track your location. The drone also has a built-in camera, while carbon fiber framing protecting users from the blades.

If you're a little rough with your smartphones, try the [DeWalt Smartphone](<https://dewaltphones.com/>). Built for the job site, the DeWalt Smartphone has much of the capability of an iPhone, but is resistant to water, dust, chemicals, impacts. That is, life.

**Lifestyle**

Today’s beer pick takes us to [Revolution Brewing Company](<https://revbrew.com/home/>) in Chicago, Illinois. Taking life in 2010, Revolution Brewing has become the largest craft brewery in Illinois, producing a wide variety of beers—approximately 50—for their fans. Although we recommend you cast your pallet across the board, definitely try the [Anti-Hero IPA](<https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/22072/55862/>).

It's harder to avoid the gym if it's in your house. Sports Authority is taking $150 off their [5-50lb dumbbell set](<https://www.sportsauthority.com/Body-Solid-Grey-Hex-5-50lbs-Dumbbell-Set/product.jsp?productId=3318265&cp=3077568.45671686.694000&parentPage=family>), making it cheap to install a little personal fitness center in that empty basement.
