Some insights from Europe: All this categories of entry level/mid level luxury sedan vs. luxury sport sedan or whatever seems to be just marketing efforts. Looking at the dimensions of the 9-5 it is very easy to realize that a 5-series BMW is not at all a bigger car. Also the fact that it's a rear driver does not inevitably mean that rear leg room must be less than in a front driver.
In Europe the 9-5 is definitely comparing to the 5-series, the E-class and the A6, whereas the 9-3 is set against the 3-series. That some option available on the 5-series are not offered for the 9-5 does here in the old world not exclude the 9-5 from being a "mid luxury car".
