when a much cheaper Accord or Camry provides the same comfortable ride, simliar quality, and much better milage and maybe even last much longer while saving tons of money? Especially in these days when an Acura/Lexus/BMW don't have the prestige it used to have.

Because none of the highlighted are true.

If 10k isn't a lot of money for you, you will consider upgrading to luxury cars.

If you are on budget and looking for the best value, Acccord or Camry is a great buy.

Even if I am a multi-millionaire, I don't think it would matter if I drive an Accord or BMW.

Anyone who has actually driven a BMW would hardly argue the benefits of a Camry or Accord.....

I don't like front wheel drive nor the generic feel of Camrys/Accords no matter how much I could save by buying one.

There's nothing wrong for a multi-millionaire o drive an Accord, but some people prefer better cars.

By the way, would you fly first class?

BMW = RWD = GOOD
HONDA = FWD = LAME

Not everyone appreciates the difference. You're an A to B kind of person, but that doesn't negate the very real, quantifiable driving difference.

Then there's looks. Honda's are office cubicles on wheels. BMW's are beautiful cars. But if you have to ask, "Why BMW?", then I guess you don't get it. Which is fine, but once again that's just you and people like you.

I don't own BMW's due to repair costs, but above a certain level of personal wealth, I would be looking at German cars. All in all, it's just not worth that much to me, so I'd have to be very wealthy to consider a German car. However you'll never catch me owning a FWD car.

My guess is you did not own a BMW.
Nothing against an Accord or Camry (had one) but there is no comparison on handling/response.

If you drive each and somehow still feel no difference, then yes, would be a waste for you, I agree.
