It's plain to me at least, that the black tape on the sides is just to throw people off. There is NO way that a door can be put in the middle of a pane of glass! If it were to have suicide rear doors they would have to be like the RX-8 where the doors actually meet! Otherwise it would be Front door ->6inch piece of glass ->Rear door - it just wont work folks!</p> I’m so bored with people wondering if there will be a suicide door on one or both sides of the R55.

And it should; I'm a big fan of sport wagons. Granted, it's got a bunch of junk all over it, but the basic shape just doesn't seem elegant to me. It's like they took two different cars and tried to merge them. Awkward is the best word to describe what I think of the Traveller so far.</p> This car doesn’t really excite me.
