Honda Acura ZDX: Exclamation
A fully integrated national advertising campaign for the launch of the all-new Acura ZDX began on Feb. 1. The strategy developed by Acura’s agency of record, rp&, a division of RPA, celebrates Acura’s advanced coupe concept, the first from Acura’s new design studio. The campaign builds on the momentum used to produce the all-new ZDX. Designers, given absolute freedom, collaborated with engineers every step of the way to ensure that the finished vehicle stayed true to the original sketches. Their passion, commitment and inspiration are thematically reflected throughout the campaign.

Somehow, the girl is prettier than the car. Deception. Nice AD but fail.
Totally agree, the girl is splendid, way more interesting than the car itself.
