"The Acura brand is 30 years young, and we wanted this spot to communicate the energy, excitement and optimism that surrounds Acura at this important moment in our history," said Jon Ikeda, vice president and general manager of the Acura Division. "As we continue to focus on advancing our Precision Crafted Performance DNA, we are excited at how this direction is resonating with our millennial customers."

Acura is marking the 30^th anniversary milestone as the #1 luxury brand to millennials in America as a percentage of sales, capturing a greater rate of buyers aged 18-34 than any other luxury make. Individual Acura models are also resonating with this important and growing demographic. The Acura ILX is both a top selling model in the entry luxury segment and the #1 selling model to millennials in each of the past four years. The Acura RDX and MDX also rank as two of the top three luxury SUVs with under 35 year olds – with the RDX the number one model in its segment to this coveted buyer group¹.

Acura's sales success with millennials is helping drive momentum with the brand riding four consecutive years of sales increases and 2015 ranking as the best sales year since 2007. The excitement continues to grow as Acura is now on the eve of launching the next-generation 2017 Acura NSX supercar, with a significantly refreshed MDX luxury SUV coming to market later this year.
