# The Jeep Grand Wagoneer Could Cost $140K and the Shelby GT350 May Get a Dual-Clutch: The Evening Rush

*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**

Rumors indicate that the monstrous [Ford Shelby GT350](<https://www.autoblog.com/2016/10/06/ford-shelby-gt350-dual-clutch-automatic-transmission/>) will get a dual-clutch transmission in the next few years. As power numbers continue to increase and track times drop, it is not surprising to hear Ford is contemplating the fast-shifting automatic. Still, we hope to see a manual in this puppy for at least a little longer.

For today’s *What the F\*\*\** moment, we have Jeep CEO Mike Manley saying the [Jeep Grand Wagoneer](<https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1106515_jeeps-range-topping-grand-wagoneer-could-nudge-140k-says-ceo>) could reach $140,000. We get that Jeep is trying to make a luxury SUV to compete with the Range Rover, but at what point does it become ridiculous? Let me answer my own question: At $140,000.

Volkswagen and diesel may be “[never ever getting back together](<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WA4iX5D9Z64>),” at least in the U.S. (Yes, that was a Taylor Swift lyric—deal with it.) As of late 2015, the [U.S. government has prohibited VW from selling any diesel engines](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/5459/volkswagen-may-never-sell-diesel-cars-in-the-united-states-again>) in the U.S. and it looks like that may be the case forever; the company says it may never bring diesels back Stateside.

**Gear**

Tracksmith has recently released a top-loader bag perfect for the gym. Made of canvas and leather, the [Top Loader](<https://www.tracksmith.com/products/toploader-bag>) has a separate compartment at the bottom for your stinky gym shoes.

There's now a camp lantern that actively repels bugs. At the same time it's pumping out 300 lumens, the [Thermacell Repellant Lantern](<https://gearmoose.com/thermacell-repellent-camp-lantern/>) emanates repellent to ensure a 15-foot perimeter free of bugs.

As the temperatures slowly begin to drop, you need to start thinking about blankets. Fortunately, [Best Made Co](<https://www.bestmadeco.com/products/the-boro-blanket>). has an extra-cozy wool blanket from Faribault Woolen Mills. Made of 100 percent wool, this multi-patterned blanket is perfect for your next weekend cuddle session.

There is something about a big, yellow raincoat we all love. Maybe it's our childhood, maybe it's an underlying love of bananas; either way, the [Finisterre Noreaster Mac Coat](<https://gearmoose.com/finisterre-noreaster-mac-coat/>) is perfect, and at $155, it's also well-priced.
