Default Phishing Scam or Legit?

Today I've received an email (which did go straight into the junk folder) which is going on about volvo's new service promise.

Now I do have an account with MRG who have this particular email address of mine however the email appears to have come through these people:

Customer Services, Acxiom, 17 Hatfields, London, SE1 8DJ

The links in the email originate either at:

acxiom.com or ecab2.co.uk

Tbh I couldn't give a monkeys as my car doesn't qualify for the new service promise anyway but I wanted to put it up here in case it is a phishing scam (which it looks like to me) - in which case Volvo ought to know about it.

I got a postal letter today about the service promise and free volvo assistance so they may have a campaign?

Ecab is Acxiom and originate in the states and are some form of marketing company.
