Lincoln Navicross stole our doors!

Of course they're not "our" doors, but go with it.

Looks like a regular 4 door. I think the only reason the doors are so well received in the 8 is because the rear suicide doors allow the car to maintain more of a sporty coupe look. I think in a car that looks like a plain old 4 door, people will simply find them as an inconvenience.

Good point. I can't see the advantages of them in this concept.

Yeah, and the concept doesnt...But it's also got a sunroof that runs the full length of the roof. Wouldn't that be a structural disaster waiting to happen?

In a car that size, you gotta wonder.

Boat? more like battleship, those doors look thick enough to serve as watertight doors between bulkheads :p

The original RX-8 concept was first shown in the 1990s. Better get some Robutussin.

(And yes, I know there have been other cars before with clamshell doors. And yes, if I don't say that some of the more "renentive" people here WILL get their panties in a bunch)
