LAS VEGAS — In what may be a critical indication of the newfound health of the auto industry, the 2011 SEMA Show is shaping up as a monster event.
The 2011 SEMA Show will host a record number of press conferences, including an announcement about new accessories for the 2012 Honda Civic, organizers said.
SEMA organizers said 71 press conferences are on the schedule — a 42 percent increase over 2010. Kia, Toyota, Hyundai, Ford, Chevrolet and Lexus will hold press conferences on November 1. Mopar will host a press conference on November 2.
The 2011 SEMA Show will also draw 2,516 global media — an increase of 39 percent over 2010.
Hyundai has been the most active automaker in terms of teasing its SEMA offerings. Among those are the 450-hp Hyundai Genesis Hurricane SC.
A number of specialty cars by suppliers will also debut at the aftermarket parts event. They include the WD40/SEMA Cares Project vehicle set for introduction by Chip Foose.
Inside Line says: The SEMA show is beginning to rival the top international auto shows for media attendance and real news.

k55, Honda hasn't announced the accessories for the Civic yet... pretty difficult to show pictures of something Honda themselves hasn't done yet. [facepalm].

k55,
It's a free article online, and they do their best. It's actually better than most magazine i've subscribed to in the past such as R&t, caranddriver etc.

Cannot wait. A coworker and I are road tripping down for SEMA from Whitecourt, Alberta Canada. The anticipation is killing me. Keep the good news coming.

So Eddie Edmunds let me understand ......this is an article about accessories for the new Civic but you dont bother to mention what they are or show pictures of any accessories . Why bother? Am I the only one who notices this type of half ass writing/ "news coverage" ?
