Acura has teamed up with Indie roack band Metric for the launch of the 2013 Acura ILX sedan, which Acura calls, the “gateway to the Acura brand.” “This first-of-its-kind Acura integration allows the brand to meaningfully engage with a band that is recognizable and favored among Gen Y,” said Acura Brand Manager Susie Rossick. “This unique program gives us a unique opportunity to tap into the interests of this younger audience and introduce the all-new ILX as the gateway to the Acura brand.”
“The collaboration between Metric and Acura was a refreshing change from the typical corporate approach,” said Metric Manager Mathieu Drouin. “Together, we created an organic music alignment which benefits both parties, but in particular the fans. It’s a win-win.”
The 2013 Acura ILX starts at $25,900 and is available with three different powertrains, including Acura’s first hybrid.
