Subaru has teased the new Forester again, ahead of a full reveal at this week's New York motor show. The next generation of Subaru's popular mid-size crossover will be joined by the new-generation Toyota RAV4 and refreshed Hyundai Tucson in the Big Apple, making for a fascinating bottleneck of family haulers on the Jacob J. Kavits Convention Centre.

Infiniti has unveiled the QX60 Limited and QX80 Limited ahead of the New York motor show this week, which are essentially high-end takes on its popular SUV models. Both models include exclusive appointments compared to their lesser variants, including exterior cosmetics and interior trim elements. We don't get it here, but the QX60 is one of the company's top-selling crossover models in the American market, thanks to its spacious and versatile three-row cabin.

The facelifted Hyundai Tucson has been confirmed for a debut at the New York motor show week. Hyundai's North American arm has posted a placeholder for its live feed, captioned "New 2019 Santa Fe, refreshed Tucson & Kona Electric at the New York International Auto Show". It's no secret that the Korean manufacturer has been planning a mid-life facelift for its popular mid-size crossover – it's already been confirmed for Australia by the end of the year.

Lincoln has teased the return of its Aviator badge, previously applied to a reworked take on the Ford Explorer. The new car, likely to be another SUV, will be unveiled at the New York motor show, and joins the Navigator and Continental in the revived luxury brand's lineup.

There's no denying the Audi R8 is a fantastic supercar, but it may not be getting a replacement in the long term, according to a new report out of the US. Speaking with Car and Driver at the 2018 Geneva motor show, Audi's R&D boss, Peter Mertens, said there are no current plans for a new-generation model. "I would say so," he said, when asked if there was no successor for the V10-engined supercar in the pipeline, though he added: "Never say never – performance cars are good for Audi".
