TORRANCE, Calif., Sept. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- The new marketing campaign for the all-new 2021 Acura TLX sport sedan lets the car do the talking. Led by "Break the Silence" (http://acura.us/breakthesilence), a :60 short film cinematic-style television spot, Acura is building on its Less Talk. More Drive brand creative for the television debut of the 2021 TLX – the first Acura sedan fully designed around the brand's Precision Crafted Performance DNA. The all-new TLX is the quickest, best-handling and most well-appointed sedan in Acura's 35-year history, and goes on sale at dealerships across the U.S. this coming Monday, Sept. 28.
In "Break the Silence," the 2021 Acura TLX stars in a 1920s-style silent film concept set to a soundtrack by legendary comedic actress and singer Betty Hutton's "It's Oh So Quiet."
