No, there are doors. Not having doors would be stupid. Almost as stupid as not being able to open the hood.

I'm just amused by the interchangable interior, you know, to match your miniskirt and iMac. The DeLorean-like doors are nice though...

I would absolutely love the Rolls-Royce 100EX if the headlights were much larger (as in filled the entire square around it, or better yet, were just massive circles like the old cars had).

The vette isn't all that bad. It would look much nicer with a red paint job. A vette just HAS to be red. Anything else just seems wrong, IMO.

....uh.. that's incredibly stupid. Thieves can be drivers too? Or maybe you're walking past the car in your garage and the door flies open and shatters your skull, throwing your head back int a workbench. Then, as you're bleeding profusely, your last living sight will be the ugliest car in the universe.

Seriously though, those doors are extreeeeemly sexy. But they did them wrong. The hinges should be further torard the middle of the car, so that the doors can still open when you parked 1 foot away from the wall...

You guys are forgetting one very important thing. This is a concept car. It'll most likely never see the light of day in this current iteration. Most concept cars are changed dramatically before release. As a matter of fact, I would throw down a 20 that it won't be released at all.

1) More crap to break (rotating door sills? Puh-lease...)
2) You can't fix whatever does..since the hood doesn't open

Dude..anything that I can't open the hood on sucks. Period. It could be made by yellow monkeys for all I care -- then again, I've never taken my car to the dealer, so maybe I think differently than some.

It's also probably automatic..with no manual option.
