Detroit Auto Show: Best Concepts Part 2

Yesterday I explained how there were two kinds of
concept cars. Ones that are almost ready for production like the Acura RDX and ones that are too whacky to every be
built but offer a realistic technology/idea that isn’t being used today. The Infiniti Kuraza concept was way out there
alright, but it also had six doors total and the rear two swung out suicide style. The Mazda RX-8 and Saturn Ion proved
you could make a car’s chassis rigid and stable without the extra pillar between doors so this is possible. And if all
the automakers are so concerned about hauling seven or eight people comfortably they might as well make it easy during
the entry and exit. How often d you hear a friend grumble as they squeeze back to a rear seat in any SUV, minivan or
even coupe. With this many doors all the griping would go away.
