2024 INEOS Grenadier, Shaking up the Luxury Off-Road Market

Highline Test Drives Some of the greatest automotive brands were built off the idea the “establishment” has missed the mark. Most notably, when Mr. Lamborghini was not too impressed with his red sports car from Maranello, Italy; and set off to build his own. With a modern twist, the INEOS Grenadier brand was born from a similar story. When Land Rover ended production of the previous generation Defender, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, chairman of the very successful European chemicals group, tried buying the machinery to continue to build those Defenders under his own brand. Land Rover would not agree to terms, […]

2025 Land Rover Defender 110 Sedona Red Edition

Highline Test Drives We have reviewed the L663 (2020+) Land Rover Defender previously on Highline Test Drives and were impressed by how the capable SUV bridges luxury and off-road prowess, ready for a weekend in the wild but just as comfortable doing school drop-off on Monday morning. The Sedona Red edition excels in every way our previous 110 X-Dynamic SE model did; however, now in a striking color hue not common on the road today. The Sedona Red edition Defender comes in a one-off Land Rover/Jaguar color hue resembling a metallic burgundy. Sedona Red is a very deep, rich red […]

The 2025 Subaru WRX tS: ‘too Subdued’ to Wear the STI Badge?

Highline Test Drives The all-new fifth-generation WRX (fourth-generation in the U.S.) has had its fair share of controversy among Subaru purists ever since leaked photos surfaced back in 2021. “There’s too much plastic on the exterior.” “Where’s the power bump?” And the most common complaint of all: “Where’s the STI variant?” Now, four years and several STI place holders later—like the WRX GT and WRX tR—we’re still left waiting for a full-fledged fifth-generation WRX STI. But in the meantime, Subaru has given us this: the 2025 WRX tS. That stands for “Tuned by STI”—Subaru Tecnica International. When STI got their […]

Large and In Charge Behind the Wheel New 2025 Nissan Armada PRO-4X 4W

Highline Test Drives When it comes to the presence of a road vehicle, size plays a large part, and they don’t come much larger than the new 2025 Nissan Armada PRO-4X. 17.5 feet long, almost 7 feet wide, and over 6.5 feet tall, the all-new Armada is a massive, 3-row, 8-seat full-size SUV. The curb weight of this generation tops out at just over 6,000 pounds, similar to an extended length Cadillac Escalade.

Undercover in the 2025 Ford Explorer ST

Highline Test Drives A Star White Metallic Tri-Coat Ford Explorer with black exterior trim commands enough respect on its own in the congested Scottsdale traffic. Other motorists take a second look in their mirror, then down at their speed, then trade the cell phone in one hand for a quick 10 and 2 wheel grip. You’d have to be a real Ford nerd to see an Explorer ST on the street and recognize, “Oh, it’s the fast one.”. Quad tailpipes, premium-design wheels, and bright red calipers only come into focus after the proverbial “Was that a cop?”. Of course results […]

2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e “It’s What Is On the Inside That Counts”

Highline Test Drives The latest Mercedes-Benz GLC 350e challenges the “hierarchy” of the Mercedes-Benz model tiers. Traditionally, a lack of cabin noise, ride comfort, and interior quality only increased as the price/tier of the model increased. What happens when the GL”C” has the quality cabin, quiet drivetrain, and the smooth ride of the top-of-the-line S-Class? I know, two different vehicles for the needs of two very different drivers, but behind the wheel on the GLC 350e, you really do think to yourself, “What more do I need?”. To make things even more confusing, while the driving experience overwhelmingly exceeds expectations, […]
