You'll be stuck forever in an accord kind of car, while somebody with more restraint drives their accord for 6 years and then their next car is an Acura TL. They drive that for 6, and their next is a BMw 5 series. People, stop replacing things that aren't broken, because we both know you don't have the money to anyway!
Oh your next car might be a benz. Well if you're not making this up (of course the low end benz doesn't count), you can get a new benz every year, or drive a car for a several years at a time and make your next car a porsche. Anyway you cut it replacing a car everyyear is a fantastically efficient way at wasting money, but i've said enough on that.
