2019 Camaro?

Apparently this is the new 2019 Charger. Why does it look like Charger and Camaro swapped front ends?

Well, this is a concept render, so maybe the actual front end will be a little different. Not sure, but thought this was interesting.

I've seen this before, I don't actually think it is an official design or based on any camo covered test mules. It is just something the guy who made the render imagined in his head. He just likes making hypothetical concepts.

Charger is due to its new platform known as ‘G’ (Giorgio) platform coming from Alfa Romeo.

It's a case of science meets marketing. Manufacturers are faced with ever increases standards to meet, and much of their research concerns aerodynamics and engine cooler to meet fuel efficiency and emission standards. As the more powerful higher end and sports cars maximize this upon this design technology, it feeds down across the board because it works and it makes the lower end cars look like the higher end cars. This why even Camry's look like sport sedans now.

I'm sure they are swapping designs because they are running out of styling ideas. It was bound to happen if your styling is limited to wind tunnel requirements.

The camaros, Mustangs, Challengers and Chargers are unmistakable from any angle except the front where the wind first strikes the object in question.

Would make modifying the look simpler.
No, the grill doesn't continue behind the bumper. However, it looks like the Chevy emblem is debossed into the front bumper. Also, I'm sure it's probably secured with studs and speed nuts in the back. This won't be an easy mod fix.

Yep. And that isn't likely to see the light of day until around 2021.
