What was the point of the complicated falcon doors anyway? It looks like engineers stroking their ego when they should have concentrated on getting the car ready so they could move on to the money maker. Instead they got delayed and a bunch of post sale problems, and you can't put a ski box on the roof either. KISS.

They work better than normal doors in tight spaces. The advantages are similar to sliding doors, but without screaming "minivan!" I don't think these small advantages are worth the massive cost and complexity, but it is a bit more than just being cool.
