For Pontiac to commit to the G8 ST is a huge leap of faith. GM and Chrysler are in merger talks, so any concepts in the works are up for discussion. This is a city pick-up, making an appearance with a lower ride, huge 20 inch wheels, leather trim interior. It’s powered by a small block V8 with 361 horsepower. The Pontiac G8 ST certainly looks promising to become a wheel-spinner and head-turner. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **City Pick-up Trucks:** There is an opportunity for car manufacturers to design and create more city pick-up trucks, as they provide versatility and style for urban areas. - **Sports Sedans with Light Truck Bodies:** The sports sedan and light truck hybrid market is still relatively new and has room for further innovation in design and functionality. - **Small Block V8 Engines:** There is potential for the development of more efficient and eco-friendly small block V8 engines for use in similar vehicles. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive Industry:** The automotive industry has the opportunity to create and market more city pick-up trucks with unique designs and features. - **Urban Transportation Industry:** Urban transportation companies can incorporate city pick-up trucks into their fleets, providing more versatility for deliveries and services in cities. - **Green Energy Industry:** The development of more efficient and eco-friendly small block V8 engines can provide opportunities for companies in the green energy industry to partner with car manufacturers and create sustainable vehicles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pursuit-Rated Pickup Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chevrolet-silverado-police-pursuit-vehicle.md) - [High-Powered Electric Pick-Up Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/f100-eluminator.md) - [High-Tech Pick-Up Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ford-ranger.md) - [Conceptual Electric Pickup Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-pickup-trucks.md) - [Ruggedly Compact Pickup Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-pickup-truck.md) - [Dual-Valve Shocks Pickup Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ford-f150-raptor-r.md) - [Stealthy Off-Road Pickup Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gmc-sierra-1500.md) - [Inaugural Utilitarian Pickup Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kia-tasman-pickup.md) - [Rugged Low-Poly Vehicle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeep-pickup-concept.md)
