One wonders how it will all pan out, though, when we look at the 3 year resale for each of these?
would be interesting to see the same test, using the big motor models instead.

Also, you don't get a free loaner car at a Kia dealership

just test drove today; nice engine note; very responsive in "normal" driver setting i.e not sport
nice steering wheel-- flat bottomed
tech is good; not sure HUD is needed as very washed out on a sunny day but apparently that is adjustabale
really nice seats with nice side bolsters
very audi-like/light
dealer had +$3500 market adjustment---lol
kia does not have any 'concierge' services-- so as mentioned above, not sure how they will do in the >$45-$50k market

I was thinking it should compare to the 3GT. I assume they still make that one? The car mags (C&D) used the hatches (4 series and A5 sportback)

Having a bit of trouble with passenger volumes of the BMWs, but here is what I was able to dig up. Interestingly, the 3'er has more front leg room than the 5'er. Stinger trumps both. Rear leg room is within a tenth of an inch between the 5'er and Stinger.

Granted, some manufacturers do wonders. My 3950lb CTS felt lighter than my 3700lb Mustang and 3750lb G35x.

While probably accurate, I'd argue the percentage where it does matter is higher. Weight (less of it) assists in better handling, ride, acceleration, fuel economy, and braking. Lighter cars simply feel more toss-able. Those seeking sporty handling will notice it, even if they don't look at spec sheets.
