Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc., announced today that Toyota will be the official "Vehicle Manufacturer of the Show" for the 2007 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) trade show in Las Vegas from October 30 to November 2.
"We are thrilled to be the official Vehicle Manufacturer of the 2007 SEMA Show," said Jim Farley, Toyota Division group vice president of marketing. "The SEMA Show has grown in leaps and bounds each year and has been instrumental to the growth of the aftermarket business and the ever-expanding partnerships between automakers and aftermarket suppliers. SEMA is very important to Toyota, and has become one of the key annual automotive events for us. In fact, in addition to being the official vehicle manufacturer, we are planning to stage a world premiere at this year's show."
The SEMA Show has been a significant showcase for Toyota and Scion project vehicles and important all-new product debuts. Last year, the all-new 2007 Toyota Tundra full-size pickup truck captured one of SEMA's prestigious design awards by being named the "most accessory friendly truck of the 2006 SEMA Show." SEMA has also been instrumental in helping Toyota demonstrate the vast accessory capabilities of vehicles such as the FJ Cruiser sport utility vehicle, the entire Scion model lineup, and many other products in the Toyota lineup.
Toyota's participation at SEMA continues to grow. This year, in addition to being the Vehicle Manufacturer of the 2007 SEMA Show, Toyota will expand its activity even further with official participation from its Lexus luxury division.
