An I30 auto weighs 100 pounds more than the fattest Max, the GLE auto

An I30 5-speed weighs the same as the "bloated" GLE auto

Given similar drivers, I would assume it a rarity for an I30 to be faster.....

i30 feels just like a maxima.


maxima is the same as i30 except exterior looks better (more luxury)

It's bee pondered many, many times. A stock barebones GXE and SE only have a weight difference of 2 pounds. They are equally fast.

The sploiler and foglights alone will add a extra 10 lb's to a SE.
