With BMW, you get a peformance semi-luxury car.

With Acura you get a semi-luxury car that has performance options.

They are different animals in that sense.

You pay more for BMW, but you get more of a driver's car (RWD being one of those things).

Acura gives you more power for the money, but not neccessarily more performance.

I love Honda, it's a great company...but I just don't get as excited about their cars as I do with the Euro's. I think I'll be getting into a euro sedan (BMW, Audi) for my next car.
