Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Do these doors look familiar?

Edit - I know the Saturn SC series came with a suicide third door before anyone points that out, I just thought it was interesting that so many new cars (mostly concepts) have suicide doors like the 8 does.

i think saturn has shown a new sedan/coupe with two suicide doors also. and i really like the way those front seats fold all the way back on the honda. plenty of room for me and the wife to... well you know

at the bottom of the post reply page is a place where you can attach a file. just click browse and find the pic in your comp.that will put a link to the pic. if you want the pic th show in your post, click on the img button in the vb code section. copy and paste the url of the pic in the box that pops up.
what is the car you're thinking of, by the way?

Thanks

Hi Zoom44:

Thanks for the help. Hope you enjoy the picture. It was taken at the Concorso Italiano at Quail Lodge about ten days ago. i almost died when I saw it! Just goes to prove tat there may not be anything really new. In any event, I'm glad that Mazda picked up on it. The RX-8 is KILLER.

suicides

The '35 still has a post behind those doors. The Lancia is 100% open. More like the RX-8.

What about all of the pick-'em up trucks that had the suicide door setups before the Saturn did? What does it matter anyway (or does that just take too much of the fun out of it )?
