the only reason these cars can be expensive to maintain is because the 
dealerships charge a fortune for simple stuff.  they figure since you can
afford an expensive car you can afford to pay $70 for an oil change.
don't fall for all that scheduled maintenance visit crap.  get your oil
changed at the quick-change places(but watch them do the work).
acura does all kinds of unnecessary stuff...like changing brake fluid at 15k
miles and such.
