From what I heard, it was scrapped because of the lack of enthusiasm behind it from consumers.
Lack of enthusiasm? There was plenty of it, particularly in the enthusiast community.

Problem is that like the G8 sedan, GM didn't do a very good job marketing it. The only way I ever saw the G8 ST was if I went to Pontiac's website and looked for it.

Furthermore, trying to throw something like this under Pontiac was just a stupid idea in the first place. Sport trucks are in the biggest niche market ever. Had GM sent it to Chevrolet or GMC and marketed it as an alternative to large trucks, it might have gained some more traction.
