Attention to detail: try to find the trunk-lid wiring in the Kizashi: I'll bet you can't as it has been so nearly hidden inside the well-finished and carpeted trunk.

This is relevant only because the cars are sometimes cross-shopped, but I direct your attention to the latest issue of Consumer Reports, which has reviewed several new compact sedans, including the Ford Focus and the Honda Civic. While they like the Focus well enough, they clearly did NOT like the n...
