2014 BMW M3

Leaked long before its debut later this year, the four door M3 (the coupe will now be called the M4) shows off its new duds with agressive new looks and a lower, meaner profile. Word is the car will be powered by a 3.0L six-cylinder, 450-hp twin turbo that takes the car from 0-62 in 4.3 seconds and will top out at 155 mph or 180 mph without the limiter. The new M3 is expected to hit showrooms next summer.

2014 Mercedes S-Class

Merc's grandest four-door gets a big update with a brand new S-Class for the 2014 model year. New to the S-Class is a pair of 12.3 screens that display the instrument cluster and infotainment, an interior dripping in LEDs (300 to be exact), and they've even created an LED brake light system that dims at night so its not beaming a beacon of red light into the driver behind you. Other bleeding edge features include "Magic Body Control" that uses stereo cameras to read the road and adjust the suspension accordingly, a comprehensive front and rear seat massage system, an "Air Balance" package that filters the air pumps your choice of five scents into the cabin, and improved versions of the company's Driver Assist programs. The car will launch this fall with a V8-powered, 449 hp S550 model and a S550 4Matic to follow in the months after. Mercedes
