Gullwings ?!?

Is this too dorky?

I want "van doors." You know, like the side passenger door on a van. Pop out a couple of inches and then slide back (or slide forward). Would make it tons easier to get in and out of the VX in a tight parking space (since I have cladding, I generally don't worry about door dings and can park in the teeny tiny spaces with little fear).

Anyone know why no car (at least that I have heard of) has had "van doors" as the primary door type? Are they just less reliable or just nobody thought of it?

I'm down with WyrreJ, I vote van doors... Was thinking of doing this mod using parts from a Dodge Caravan if I ever can afford it. It would set nicely.

Scissor doors are nice but the door needs to be narrow... When you open the door it looks like the the front bottom corner of the VX door would be at about the seat bolster. That's no good.

Suicide doors would be the easiest way to go, but I think the look is too ol' school for the VX.

Just my thoughts.

Like the-??? Senku???- Mazda RX-8/9 concept this year. Down with the shape but, shove the rotary engine. The doors are decidely cool, but damn hard to replicate on a VX
