personally, I think the sliding doors on minivans are a more elegant solution to that problem. less stylish, but simpler design for the same utility and without compromising your roof.
- robomartin 13y agoAgreed! I've come to really appreciate their utility. One of our vehicles has them and they are fantastic. Nice piece of mechanical engineering as well. And, BTW, not much wrong with conventional doors either. Judging by the tens of millions of cars sold every year wold wide I'd say conventional doors work pretty well.
- aidenn0 13y agothe reason for gull-wings on the X is easy third-row access. with minivan doors you are limited in how far back they open
- loceng 13y agoCan you rationally separate elegance and style ?
- notatoad 13y agodepends what you mean by elegance. an "elegant solution" in engineering has very little to do with fashion, it's about solving a problem in a non-obvious but very clean and efficient way.
