Well, with your stache and expenses, you know you could be FIREd, right? Do you want that now or soon? If yes, then keep the Acura. If no, then keep the Acura! To me, cars are no more than butt-moving machines, and if it does that job safely, that's good enough. Sounds like your wife is into prestige. I would encourage her to buy whatever car she wants to out of HER money. (Are you the only bread-winner?) That might narrow her options quickly!
