The new VW Scirocco has proven to be an early favorite among European tuners, and Rieger's line of aftermarket products will go for sale in March 2009. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Modified Car Design:** Opportunity for aftermarket body kit companies to create modified car designs inspired by high-profile brands like Lamborghini and Audi. - **European Tuner Market:** Growing demand for aftermarket products in the European tuner market, with the VW Scirocco being an early favorite. - **Vertical Doors Trend:** Rise in popularity of vertical doors in car modifications, as seen in the Rieger VW Scirocco. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive Aftermarket:** Opportunity for aftermarket body kit companies to cater to the growing demand for modified car designs inspired by high-profile brands. - **Automotive Tuning:** Growing market for aftermarket products and modifications in the European tuner market. - **Automotive Design:** Potential for car manufacturers to incorporate design elements from high-profile brands like Lamborghini and Audi into their models. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Coupe-Inspired Crossover Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-quanta.md) - [Sleekly-Designed Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-rs-etron-gt.md) - [Vintage All-Electric Restomods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quintessenza-rs.md) - [Luminated Transparent Custom Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volkswagen-id-3-ev.md) - [High-End Automobile Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prestige-imports.md) - [Muscular Gilded SUV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamborghini-aurochs.md) - [Collaborative Custom Car Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/model-a7l.md) - [Sporty All-Electric Concept Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volkswagen-idx-performance.md) - [Electric Performance Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-vision-gt.md)
