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

Lincoln Navicross concept:

 

Those bastards, they stole our doors!

 

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.

 

They actually stole the doors from themselves.

1964 Lincoln

 

True, but that has a B pillar.

 

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.


Ike, what do you mean "our"? :D

 

I drove one of those about 10 years ago for a summer... What a boat... I felt like Bligh, Cap'n Hook and a little Cap'n Crunch....

 

Get the shotgun Cleetus them thar' basta'd stol' r doors!

 

ah geez, here we go again

 

at work we have a ford courier (4wd extended cab utility) and it has our doors as well
it even has the same latching mechanism with no b pillar. it was released before the rx-8.
Mazda just raided the parts bin for the 8

 

^^ haha

 

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

 

I was just going with it like you said

 

*cough* 2003 *cough* Saturn *cough* ion *cough* no flames please *cough*cough* must be coming down with a cold or something

 

It was sarcasm

 

i like the look of that car

 

cool roof

 

yea, i know. I was only j/k :p

 

It looks like the Lincoln designers wanted to go gansta

 

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)

 

In that case, good job.
