Ever since the Ariel Atom, everyone is doing a concept with the opening in the door thing. Some, like Jeep, have done it to the extreme with Exto stlye open bodywork. Fun in a go-cart/sandrail.....inconvient and silly in a "real" vehicle. I agree...the front looks like a VX sort of... it's a shovel head catfish to our channel cat look. I like it...but then I bought one of those Vehicross things back when...not to mention the Z3 M coupe Peers consider my automotive design judgement to be a bit skewed.
