And honestly, even if they ditched the suicide doors, that's fine, but don't give it traditional door handles. I think that's my biggest beef with it. The suicide doors made it look more like a 2 door sports car because the handles blended in the middle which throws your eyes off of the fact it's a true 4 door.I don't think with today's safety rules it's possible to have suicide doors.
Unless you make the car out of CFRP.
That alone makes it twice as expensive, so there's your bathwater.
Just because the opening is too wide to give enough strength it needs either a lot of steel (makes it heavier) or loads of carbon which makes it expensive.
About the fenders and other style elements, I agree.
I think they missed a unique opportunity to blow the car world off it's feet.
That's the plug they pulled to get rid of the bath water indeed.
Still, I'm curious what they come up with in Frankfurt...
So ditch the suicide doors but do what (I can't believe I'm about to say this), but do what Tesla does (or did with roadster) and make the handles flush mount that sense when you're gonna grab it and it pops them out. That way it will keep the same aesthetic of suicide doors, but have the B pillar.
