They were revealed at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, where the carmaker asked this growing market segment to provide feedback on the design of the cars' interiors, neither of which have been made. Both the Chevy Code 130R and the Tru 140S are four-person vehicles and feature 1.4-liter turbo engines and about 150 horsepower. At the auto show, the carmaker surveyed thousands of Millennials to get their opinions on the vehicles' styling and features, such as Wi-Fi integration. When it comes to driving and cars in general, the Millennial generation seems to need a bit more of a push then previous generations. According to Chevrolet's global marketing senior manager John McFarland, Millennials care much less about cars and brands than they do for things like their cellphones and computers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Generation-focused Autos:** Creating car models specifically targeted at the Millennial generation. - **Millennial Feedback:** Seeking input and opinions from Millennials on car design and features. - **Shifting Priorities:** Recognizing the changing priorities of Millennials towards technology and connectivity over traditional automotive features. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive:** Developing new car models and features to cater to the preferences of the Millennial generation. - **Technology:** Integrating Wi-Fi and other technological advancements in car design to appeal to Millennials' digital lifestyles. - **Market Research:** Using consumer feedback and data analysis to inform the development of car models and features that resonate with Millennials. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Accessible Entry-Level SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acura-adx.md) - [Electric Sports Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/california-corvette.md) - [Retro-Futuristic Electric Sedans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buick.md) - [Affordable Sleek Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/equinox-ev.md) - [Social-Media Oriented EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indi-one.md) - [Child-Centric Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/childcentric-compact-luxury-suv.md) - [Persona-Specific EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nissan-futures.md) - [Influencer-Starring Car Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-2.md) - [Stylish Compact SUV Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-suvs.md)
