Automakers are sending a slew of critical new and redesigned models into dealer showrooms right now.

Amid a steady, broad consumer shift away from cars, VW is dropping the midsize sedan to focus on EVs and utility vehicles, sources familiar with the brand's future product plans said.

The midsize crossover, Lincoln's top-selling model in 2019, has been overshadowed recently by newer models such as the Aviator and Corsair.

Subaru is bolstering its BRZ coupe with a redesign focused around a new engine, an upgraded interior and smoother styling.
