Its not like the RX8 is the first car in the world to have these doors...wasn't the first car with these doors invented like 10 years ago or something?

disagree.. the Benz looks more like a mix of minivan and SUV. The article says something about 343 hp and it has some futuristic gadgets.

It's clearly nothing like the RX-8 except the doors and no center pillar - I guess that's good for fat people. I heart today that ambulances are upgrading their stretchers to carry up to 750 pounds instead of 500.

I feel safer already, picturing myself on a bed-on-wheels guaranteed to hold all my 750 pounds.

well the RX-8 def wasnt the first car in recent years with this. I think Saturn was one of the first ones. Then it was put into many Picksup, now even the honda element comes with it.. but i will say that it looks the best on the RX-8!

soon i feel there will be very few 2 doors most, cars will come with "suicide" door, but how many will have "freestyle" doors ;-).
