For the moment, the future of the Chevrolet Camaro is loaded with questions (more on this below) and the rendering we have here comes to offer us an interesting, smile-inducting perspective on this Chevy matter.
To be more precise, this pixel portrait brings a Kia face swap for the Camaro - this kind of visual stunt is quite popular nowadays. In fact, as it was the case with the Ford Flex-faced Mustang we showcased last month, the mix between the styling of the Camaro and that of the Kia Telluride appears surprisingly stable. However, this might be explained by the fact that the full-size SUV was penned by Tom Kearns, the man who's been leading Kia's Irvine, California design studio for fifteen years now.
There's no denying the fact that such a change would leave the all-important Camaro heritage behind, so nobody should take this as a wish for the styling of the next-gen model. Then again, the 2019 redesign, which was mostly fixed by the 2020 revamp, has done the model no good, with this contributing to the below-expectation sales that risk jeopardizing the future of the badge.
While we're talking about the Camaro, I should remind everybody that the reports about the retirement of the badge over a focus on trucks, crossovers and... the brilliant C8 Corvette, no longer seem to be of interest.
That's because other reports, which date back to last summer, talk about the seventh-gen Camaro being delayed rather than killed, albeit with no clear deadline in sight.
And if we consider the future of the Mustang and the Challenger/Charger, the Chevy's situation doesn't appear so bleak. For instance, a Blue Oval job listing has confirmed that the next-gen S650 Mustang will arrive in 2022, as a 2023 model.
And, as is the case with the said pair of Mopar muscle cars, the current Camaro is expected to live on until 2023, which means there's plenty of time for new and exciting versions (Z/28, anybody?).
