    For what we know from you, you're exactly the kind of guy who'd love suicide dors.
    Money can't buy you friends, but you do get a better class of enemy.

    You're right friend, I do. Allows a much more graceful way to enter/leave a car

    Though I do worry about those rear 'half doors' seen on RX8 and trucks, eg

    Not only do they not hit the curb, they take an angle similar to the angle at which the driver enters the car making ingress and egress much more pleasant and graceful. In addition, the Aston doors will hold open at the angle you want them too and are not held in place by a series of clogs like most doors. Its funny to me that Aston Martin, a company known more for their styling and leatherwork, could engineer the best doors in the automotive world.
