Did BMW invent a brand-new term just to market their car? It seems that way, and they've named it "Forwardism." But what's the deal with this word?

It's for those who like to think ahead, make a positive impact, and find new opportunities even when they're not crystal clear. It’s about sharing fresh ideas and making the world better for everyone. BMW has embraced this min

It takes a fanatical fastidiousness to notice how even the size of a bolt affects performance, but that's what the people of Toyota Gazoo Racing (GR) are accustomed to, resulting in the upgraded Toyota GR Corolla.

They are supposed to be hard to manoeuvre, reek of diesel, have immense body roll, and be uncomfortable to ride in. Well, I'll give you a heads up – the Triton drives like a crossover.
