    not sure yet, but I think its a pretty good design not the fan of the roof effect on it.. but the doors I like.(most cars cant pull it off which would cause a lot of ricing IMO)

    The doors lift with the roof, they aren't really doors at all. It's a cockpit so the whole top would be a canopy.

    eh the wikipedia definition of "gullwing" pictures the same car.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gull-wing_door

    poster said something about a minivan so i doubt he can make it into the Saab Aero-X

    Yes, under the heading "Similar Designs" not "These are Gullwing Doors" heehee

    I clicked on the link to the Aero-X and since we're quoting Wikipedia....

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_Aero-X

    "The doors and windscreen are connected, so instead of using conventional doors or even gullwing doors, it uses a cockpit canopy where the entire top section of the car is opened."
