Acura teams up with CTV to provide stylish transportation for etalk during festival

HONDA CANADA – Honda Canada has announced a partnership with CTV's etalk to provide a fleet of the turbocharged Acura RDX luxury crossover SUV and the Canadian-built MDX luxury sport utility vehicle during the upcoming film festival in Toronto. The fleet of vehicles will be used from September 8-18 to move the crew and their equipment throughout Toronto as they capture many of the moments of one of the city's most anticipated events.

"We're proud to enter into this partnership with etalk so they may provide Canadians with coverage of this year's film festival," said Alexandre Roger, Assistant Vice President, Acura. "The Acura RDX and MDX are two of our most popular models and provide a great mix of luxury and innovation."

With custom contoured seats, quality leather and room for seven, the MDX feels more like a private viewing gallery than an automobile. Equipped with an available navigation system, Bluetooth wireless mobile phone interface and Acura/ELS Surround Premium Audio System, the etalk team has a luxurious command station primed for maximum connectivity and room for their crews and gear.

The Acura RDX is an elegant people-mover that allows performance and luxury to freely flow together. With its turbocharged i-VTEC engine and polished driver amenities, etalk has a compact SUV that can get them quickly from one event to another in style.

"This year etalk celebrates its 10th anniversary season and enters into its 10th year of extensive film festival coverage," said Morley Nirenberg, Director of Production/Executive Producer, etalk. "etalk captures the festival from every angle, providing breaking news and exciting stories to fans across the country. We're happy to partner with Acura this year to ensure that our crews get where they need to be in style."

Fans and enthusiasts can see etalk and their fleet of 2012 Acura RDX and MDX at all the hot spots throughout the city during the film festival or by tuning in to etalk, hosted by Ben Mulroney and Tanya Kim, weeknights at 7 p.m. ET on CTV.
