From the order guide:

Windows, power with driver and passenger Express-Down/Up

The express up will be a nice improvement. (My '09 doesn't have this feature, maybe it was implemented in later years.)

Would be insanely disappointing if this wasn't included. Anything that's on a 10k Kia should be included on the C7!

I can't believe that is their selling point. I just want to slap the advertising director of Kia. Not only does it not make sense, but is down right annoying; makes me want to turn the channel on any channel that would promote those ads.

well those ads aren't targeted to you. They are targeted towards a younger demographic, 16-25 year old males. Those ads are also extremely successful and have won Clio™ awards.

Why does the C7 even have options like this. These features should be included in any $50K + car

It doesn't. It is standard equipment - not an option.

Are you in the market for a Kia? Did not think so...Most likely the target audience gets the hampsters...Go figure....

I would say 16-25 males & females.

But I totally agree. Completely different market.

And also totally agree this should be a standard feature on any car above $20k. Exactly how much extra can it cost to make an already electrically powered window go all the way up or down, by pulling or pressing the button that controls it.. just a little bit harder.

I would think it would be more cost effective to have it as a standard feature opposed to the manufacturer having to produce speparate parts if it was an option.

Usually I would agree with that, but I am 28. And those commercials have been out for a while.

Also, I find it hard to believe that those cars are only for that age group. Its like saying the honda civic is for only highschool and recent college grads.

Just because I don't like the commercial doesn't mean the car is bad. Not that I would ever buy one.

Just because you don't like the commercial doesn't mean it isn't effective.

The hamsters turned a niche product into Kia's number one seller, and basically put the Kia brand on people's radar.

It's not an option. It's standard. You need to read the ordering guide.
