With the introduction of the Toyota Supra, rumors have been swirling that the 86/BRZ twins might not be replaced when their production lives were up.  Autocar UK has a quote from Toyota's European Marketing Chief saying "[the GT86] has been a successful halo product for us" and added that "...the Supra is not to replace that car."
The 86/FR-S/BRZ was released in 2011 as a co-development between Toyota and Subaru.  It uses Subaru's boxer engine and transmission.  It is highly likely that the next generation model would continue to use the signature engine. The new car would continue sit below the Supra in the Toyota lineup. Akio Toyoda has stated interest in building a full lineup of sports cars.
Whatever comes from the next generation 86, we're just glad that SUVs haven't killed yet another sports car.

What you're looking at here is a preview of the next generation Subaru Crosstrek. Unveiled at the Geneva International Auto Show today, the Subaru Viziv Adrenaline concept is a more distinct take on what the Crosstrek could look like.  Subaru has increased the amount of body cladding, made the lines sharper, added LED accent lighting, and 6-dot fog lights front and rear.  The wheels have white highlights on the rim.
The company says the concept shows Subaru's new "BOLDER" design theme. 
The Crosstrek was recently refreshed for the 2018 model year and a Plug-in Hybrid Crosstrek was introduced at the 2018 LA Auto Show, so it may be a few years before we see the styling updated to this new look.

SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. REPORTS BEST-EVER FEBRUARY SALES
 
 
Best February ever – monthly sales increase 3.9 percent over February 2018 87 consecutive months of yearly, month-over-month growth Best February ever for Ascent and Forester 60 consecutive months of more than 10,000 Outbacks sold 67 consecutive months of more than 10,000 Foresters sold Subaru of America, Inc. today reported 49,081 vehicle sales for February 2019, a 3.9 percent increase compared to February 2018, and the best February in the history of the company. The automaker also reported year-to-date sales of 95,153, a 3.9 percent gain compared to the same period in 2018.

February marked the 60th consecutive month of 40,000+ vehicle sales for the automaker. Ascent and Forester sales were notably strong as each model achieved its best January ever. In February, Subaru won in two major categories of Kelley Blue Book’s 2019 5-Year Cost to Own Awards. This year’s honors, which recognize brands and new vehicles with the lowest projected ownership costs, were awarded to Subaru for “Best Brand” and the 2019 Crosstrek for “Best Compact SUV/Crossover.”

“These continuing record sales results are a testament to the commitment, dedication and passion of our retailers,” said Thomas J. Doll, President and CEO, Subaru of America, Inc. “We are proud and humbled by the accolades our brand and vehicles recently received including Consumer Reports’ naming Subaru the “Best Overall Brand” in their annual Brand Report Card, as well as our Crosstrek, Forester and Ascent SUVs each ranking first in their respective categories in Consumer Reports’ latest car ratings.”

“In February, we benefitted from strong sales results for the three-row Subaru Ascent and the all-new Forester which received top marks in the IIHS’ new test of pedestrian crash avoidance systems,” said Jeff Walters, Senior Vice President of Sales. “We’ve been fortunate to generate a lot of excitement throughout our line-up, particularly with our SUVs, and expect that to continue with new additions to our lineup later this year.”
