    Someone should mention to them that the front end of their car is melting.

    Oh, and tell them the rear end was left jacked up after they changed the tire.

    Oh, good. The public has been waiting for the Marzal crossover for some time now.

    I see Volvo and Mazda and I like it. But probably most of it won't make it to production.

    @Syrax: Whoa whoa whoa - Volvo should never be used as an adjective for Hyundai unless it is used in conjunction with the phrase "is completely superior to" ::twitch::

    @SuzanneD: I'm a Volvo fan to. I had a S60R. But this IS good. Maybe not Volvo good, but still.

    You'd need three parking spaces for that thing. One for the body and one each per door. One reason I wasn't too sad to miss the whole DeLorean thing. You couldn't park it in a crowded lot AND get out of it.

    @ironghost: I assume you missed the earlier thread. The doors don't swing OUT much. My beef is how high they go.


    Sliding doors are best, but space intensive. Swinging front and sliding rear are probably the best combo, but have the worst vehicle connotations (minivan).

    "Think About It"


    Think about what? That there are massive gullwing doors on a Korean import? A German import would make sense, but not something from Asia.


    The more I think about it, the more I have a love/hate relationship. It's a cool concept, and definitely is going to get the Nuvis concept noticed, but it's a little bizarre and out of place. They're so huge they look like they should be hooked up to hydraulics and the vehicle entered in the Red Bull Flugtag.


    Think about it.

    The first time I pull into my garage and open the doors, the doors are trashed. Along with my garage door.


    I wish everyone would just stop with the gullwings already.

    @Alphamazing: Nice vid, but that was never my impression (in fact, I expect gullwings to require LESS clearance side-to-side)


    I'm talking overhead clearance, not side to side...

    What is the point? No way these gullwing doors are making it to production anyways.

    @Analyst: It's a marketing thing. They want to draw attention to their brand.
