Saw one of these this weekend. The 'Shinka' edition is sweet. Not sure having 2 cars with suicide doors is a good idea but my wife loved it.

It'll go nicely with your Mazda SC1. Or if you don't like that, how about your Mazda <insert just about any crew cab pickup truck from the last 10 years>

 

Yeah but all the others are just pretenders to the crown.

 

No, they're not. They were there first. The Rx8, and you, are the pretenders.

 

i wouldn't mind having an FJ, I would turn it into a rock crawler..

 

Most of those crew cabs were only 3 doors. Same with the Saturn back in the day. The first time I saw 2 demi doors was on the 8, followed by a few of the recent ginormous crew cabs.

Then again, I don't really pay a whole lot of attention to pick-up trucks because all the commercials indicate that I only need one if I plan on driving through a huge amount of mud on my way to a construction site where 4 tons of cargo will be dropped from a crane that releases its load at an unnecessarily high height as to demonstrate the ruggedness of the aforementioned truck.

Then again, haven't demi-doors been around for 50 years?

 

don't forget that one saturn model that had a suicide door/doors..

 

More like the Honda Element.

 

It's interesting because, while the suicide semidoors may not be novel to the RX-8, people invariably react to them as if they are. I have yet to open mine for someone without them being surprised and wow-ed (with the exception of one friend who has a pickup truck with them).

 

Props to the 1960's Lincoln continental and the OG suicide doors. Amazingly, it is still just as captivating an unique as 40+ years ago. Good to see this mod hasnt lost ist novelty, eh?
