The thick A-pillars have been widely criticised, but I am specticle about whether this is to increase strength and allow for the possibility of a Convertible 2-door. I am curious after the Marilyn concept development cost being too high and one of the main reasons was because the A-pillars had to be reconstructed because they were not strong enough. (For the rookies: convertibles need to have stronger A-pillars, comprared with a solid roofed vehicle, as a safety precaution in the event of a crash.) I know its too early even to think of his really but i thought it was an interesting concept.
