The 3 Series GT, which is basically a bigger 3 Series, has been revealed by BMW.  The fact that it is larger gives it rear passengers more legroom, as well as more cargo space. Grunt is delivered from a 2.0L Turbo 4 producing 240HP and 255 lb-ft of torque.  The 335i has a 3.0L turbo 6 making 300HP and 300 lb-ft of torque. You can also get the M Sport package which adds some extra aerodynamic parts.

The new Titan pick-up truck may be available in 2014 as a 2015 model.  The Nissan Titan hasn't been significantly updated since 2003, although all of its competitors have.  This may be the reason only 21,576 Titans were sold of the 1.6 million full-size trucks bought in America last year.  Reuters says that the Titan may receive a V-6 engine as an option, along with a two-door version.  There are two main reasons it has taken so long for the new Titan; one, they had a partnership with Chrysler to produce a Ram 1500-based truck, but Chrysler declared bankruptcy, and two, the March 2011 earthquake and Tsunami caused further delay.
