Like others have said, these are not a Honda where you can neglect maintenance and still get 200k out of it.
BUT when maintained properly, they will last as long as the Honda. The maint does cost a bit more than other cars, but not any more expensive than other high end brands, and even Toyota and Honda.
BTW, this goes for any premium marque. My brother is a BMW mechanic and according to him it is the same story over there too. They are a great car as long as they are maintained.
Also, just to note, while 8AA2YM has been a super star here on the board with technical knowlege, his battle with his car is what I would call a bit out of the ordinary. It sounds like it was cursed from day one. I only have 75k on my 2001, but have only had a couple warrantee covered items. Otherwise it is all maintenance.
