It seems a number of car manufacturers are trailing their coats with freestyle door concepts. Not surprising - it really is a practical idea. Everbody who has ridden in the rear of the car comments how comfortable it is. Even my 90 year old mother in law has no troubles getting in and out.

 

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery........

 

AMEN to that !

Not Surprising though.

Mazda Reinvented the Roadster
Mazda Invented the Common Sports car
Mazda Invented the 4 Door Sports Coupe
To Be Continued......

 

That is nice lookin for a C-class, it almost seems like mercedes cares about the younger buyers

 

Saturn and Ford had them around for a few years before the RX-8 ever came out.

 

Yes, but now people will find it hard to say the 4 doors on the RX-8 makes it a Saturn.

 

Rotary god the abbreviation FIG-JAM seems to have been aptly made just for you j/k

F#*K I'M GOOD JUST ASK ME .....Maybe it should read..... F#*k I'M ROTARY GOD JUST ASK ME .

Trucks have had freestyle doors for years :D

 

Nothing new under the sun....

MG did the freestyle door thing seventy years ago in the early thirties. Same deal with the back door being only openable from the inside, and a "complex arrangement of locks and bolts" to stop accidental opening.

Here's a pic of the K1, an MG sports sedan.

 

Yes its sad that both MG and Rover are going to be Chinese owned

There must have been something lost in the translation? 2 countries seperated by common language.

 

Don't worry - he was attempting humor. It obviously went over as good as a lead zeppilin.
