Cars you didn't know you want: BMW 700 Coupe

BMW was on the verge of going broke in late 1959, with the board proposing a merger with Daimler-Benz.

The new flagship of the Toyota HiLux range was caught on camera in Thailand late last year wearing little disguise. Now we have created an artist impression of what it could look like. Last month we got our first look at a camouflaged version of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport , the flagship ute set to replace the range-topping Toyota HiLux Rugged X in Australian showrooms later this year.
