2014 Ford F-150 Tremor revealed

Street-truck enthusiasts looking for V8 power with V6 fuel economy, look no further. In what initially looks like a baby Ford Raptor or a true successor to the F-150 SVT Lightning, Ford has revealed a special trim package for their F-150, named the Tremor. Featuring the 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine packing 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque, the Tremor comes with the short-wheelbase, regular cab and 4x2 set-up.

First Sight: BMW 1 Series

This is the first BMW to compete in the premium lower medium European car class defined by cars such as the Audi A3 and Alfa Romeo 147, although spiritually it follows the significantly smaller BMW 2002 Touring produced from 1968 to 1976. A little more compact that the 3 Series (which will grow in size with next year's new model) the 1 Series effectively replaces the 3 Series-based Compact and extends the brand downward to just above the Mini. The 1 Series was previewed by the CS1 two door convertible concept shown two years ago at Geneva, with which it shares much of its exterior proportions and form, and some interior design themes.
