Not digging the rear doors (design, not the fact that there ARE rear doors) but the aerodynamics look good.

Lots of neat styling cues here. I wonder what they'll end up on.]]>Feb 26th 2008 3:36PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-pininfarina-reveals-sintesi-design/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-pininfarina-reveals-sintesi-design/Feb 26th 2008 4:14PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-pininfarina-reveals-sintesi-design/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-pininfarina-reveals-sintesi-design/Feb 26th 2008 3:38PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-pininfarina-reveals-sintesi-design/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-pininfarina-reveals-sintesi-design/Feb 26th 2008 4:03PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-pininfarina-reveals-sintesi-design/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-pininfarina-reveals-sintesi-design/Mar 1st 2008 5:32AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-pininfarina-reveals-sintesi-design/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-pininfarina-reveals-sintesi-design/Feb 26th 2008 4:13PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-pininfarina-reveals-sintesi-design/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-pininfarina-reveals-sintesi-design/Feb 26th 2008 4:19PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-pininfarina-reveals-sintesi-design/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-pininfarina-reveals-sintesi-design/Feb 26th 2008 4:28PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-pininfarina-reveals-sintesi-design/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-pininfarina-reveals-sintesi-design/whats up with the huge greenhouse and no glassroof or sunroof? its a concept it might as well have it. ]]>Feb 26th 2008 4:45PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-pininfarina-reveals-sintesi-design/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-pininfarina-reveals-sintesi-design/Feb 26th 2008 5:23PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-pininfarina-reveals-sintesi-design/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-pininfarina-reveals-sintesi-design/
Too bad there's little resemblance from other angles.

I love the concave rear fascia and jagged "stealth" front end treatment; I have to wonder why they bothered with gullwing doors, though. The only way I can see gullwings offering greater utility or convenience is if they were on an absolutely failsafe powered hinge (no sag-prone gas struts!) that didn't require your standing/reaching up to pull them closed.]]>Feb 26th 2008 5:40PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-pininfarina-reveals-sintesi-design/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/26/geneva-08-preview-pininfarina-reveals-sintesi-design/
Guigiaro designed the first SVX... Maybe Pininfarina is designing version 2.0, with 4 doors.

Lots of interesting details, but a lot of extraneous ones, too. it is a designer's playground, but there are lots of cool things to bring out of it.

and I love forward swing swan doors. (especially with multi-pane windows :D ) Motorizing them should be very do-able, if vans can have three motorized heavy doors, I am sure this is very do-able, and does make very good sense.
