Realizing that it must spend more marketing dollars to compete with the more established luxury automakers, Acura is preparing to launch its most expensive ad campaign ever for its redesigned 2014 MDX.

It’s also the brand’s first cooperation with its new agency, Boston- and Los-Angeles-based Mullen Advertising.
