	SEMA Ignited is a new post-Show After-Party open to the public that offers exhibitors and industry partners the opportunity for additional media and consumer exposure.

SEMA invites exhibitors, attendees and media to SEMA Ignited—a new post-Show event open to the public on Friday, November 7 (4:00 p.m.–10:00 p.m.). The first-ever After-Party offers exhibitors and industry partners the opportunity for additional media exposure and reaching an expanded audience to highlight the impressive vehicles, products and personalities gathered in Las Vegas for the SEMA Show.

Industry members can also join a special VIP After-Party experience to check out SEMA Ignited first-hand. The event will take place adjacent to one of Las Vegas’s newest landmarks—the High Roller observation wheel at The LINQ entertainment district.

Participation is free of charge to SEMA Show exhibitors and attendees.

Here are three ways to participate:

1. The easiest way to be part of the experience is to join the industry VIP reception at SEMA ignited. Register to Attend SEMA Ignited.
2. Exhibitors are invited to roll one or more of their feature or booth vehicles over to SEMA Ignited for display after the close of the 2014 SEMA Show. Register your vehicle(s) for SEMA Ignited.
3. Exhibitors can also enter one or more feature or booth vehicles in the “SEMA Battle of the Builders,” where a panel of top automotive editors will select 10 deserving builders and their vehicles to appear center stage at SEMA Ignited and be featured in a nationally televised special sponsored by SEMA. SEMA Ignited will culminate in awarding the “SEMA Battle of the Builders” trophy to this year’s top vehicle and its builder. Register for the “SEMA Battle of the Builders.” (Deadline for consideration is Friday, September 19.)

By connecting with the industry and showcasing the latest vehicle builds in a dynamic Vegas setting, SEMA Ignited is a strong new added value for SEMA Show exhibitors offering additional media and consumer exposure.

The shooters at KGP Photography caught the ’16 Toyota HiLux pickup testing in a revealing state of graphic camouflage. Given that a new Toyota Tacoma is due for the U.S. market on a similar timeframe, perhaps these HiLux spy shots are a preview of the design direction to be seen on Toyota's redesigned midsize pickup.

The seventh-generation HiLux saw a distinct design departure from the U.S. market Tacoma, with HiLux getting a more aerodynamic front fascia and cab design than the U.S. model. These new shots of an eighth-generation HiLux prototype reveal a truck that looks a bit less aero than the current model, with a countenance that looks more like a traditional American truck. The new lines look more consistent with something we could see in U.S. showrooms, which bears the question of just how much of the next Tacoma could we be seeing in this unauthorized look at the foreign-market HiLux prototype?

A new Tacoma is in the works for the United States, with KGP's exclusive shots of a Tacoma mule caught testing in the Southwest. That mule didn't give up any design details, but an all-new interior is in the works, along with what appeared to be a massaged version of the current platform with similar size and packaging.

KGP is still on the lookout for full-on, U.S.-spec Tacoma prototypes to hit the testing scene on U.S. soil. For now, it's unknown whether this HiLux prototype provides any foreshadowing for the new Tacoma that's coming to battle in a rejuvenated midsize pickup market in America.
