Accavitti Out, Ikeda Promoted Up To Acura’s Top Spot

2013 Detroit Auto Show

Acura head honcho Michael Accavitti (left) is head honcho no more. Honda's luxury brand will now be led by former Division Director of Auto Design at Honda R&D Americas, Jon Ikeda (right), an industrial designer responsible for the 2004 Acura TL.

Ikeda will assume the top post, Vice President and General Manager of the Acura Division, effective immediately as Accavitti is no longer with the company.

Accavitti joined Honda in 2011 as its chief marketing officer and was given his most recent title in April 2014, putting his tenure at the top of Acura at 15 months. He was also CEO of Dodge for a grand total of four months in 2009.

Ikeda has been with Honda since 1989.
