Only the passenger side has a rear door. There are 3 doors (not including the hatch).

It's a flux capacitor  kimbo305 posted:Hold on Hyundai, I don't think some people are done reeling from the Juke yet: In other news, apparently the Mini Paceman got green lit for production. Bunch of pics from the earlier PR announcement of the concept here: http://www.motoringfile.com/2010/12/18/world-debut-the-mini-paceman-crossover-coupe/ I guess it's a coupe-ified Countryman or something? Same length apparently, just a lot squatter. Took me a while to get used to the Countryman's look, pretty weird seeing the same front end on a lower flatter car now. Meanwhile there's the Dakar Countryman, it was apparently doing well (top 10 finishes), then on a practice run...

Wow, the Mini has gone beyond ridiculous and is now coming out of its own rear end in a top hat. It's like the M C Escher car. The Mini clubman already has a greater track width and height than my E30 touring. The E30 only has a couple of inches on it in wheelbase (100 to 102 or something). Now there will be a "mini" coupe with similar dimensions. The stupidity factor involved is just colossal.

Rhyno posted:Three doors? Didn't Saturn pull this trick already? I like obvious three doors like this. It screams, 'Get in on the passenger side like you're supposed to, you stupid fucks!' to everyone who decides to bum a ride off me. No, you are not getting in on the driver's side. First, the seat doesn't really allow for it like the passenger side does and second, I'm not readjusting my seat just for you.

It's actually a shorter (in height) model...of the bigger model  . I vaguely remember rumors of them working on a smaller (than the Cooper) model, not sure what's happening with that, if anything.I'm just wondering how many models they plan to have before killing something off...and if they're going to call everything a "Cooper" still (i.e. Clubman is technically "Cooper Clubman", Countryman is "Cooper Countryman", etc), it drives me nuts.

New Camaro Z/28 Confirmed!quote:This just in from BeckyD@RodgersChevrolet, who has just attended a National Chevrolet Dealer's meeting where among other things, the upcoming Camaro Z28 was confirmed and discussed! Man, I'm SUPER excited for this. I really thought we'd be seeing these on the road this year, but this gives me a bit more time to adjust to what I'm sure will be a crazy price tag. Those are some fat rear end rear tires, too! Holy crap. I wonder how well the adjustable suspension will work.

Rhyno posted:Three doors? Didn't Saturn pull this trick already? The thing actually looks really cool and funky in person. Its certainly not for everyone, admittedly, but I really dig it. Getting into the back is a goddamn bitch though, especially if you're not 5'5". My 6'4" self was getting in for the sake of science, and while taking great care to not bash my dome, I bashed my rear end on the edge. Hurt like a bastard for a few hours. The wackiest thing is probably the asymmetrical doors. The driver's side door is huge like a coupe's, the passenger side is normal sedan size. Can't wait to see how it drives.

How is it size wise compared to a CRX or even an Accent hatch?

Mr. Wiggles posted:How is it size wise compared to a CRX or even an Accent hatch? Its a pretty small car. Specs say its a couple of inches shorter than an Accent and slightly wider than an Elantra. They made good use of space inside though, the front two seats are pretty spacious. poo poo for room in the back, but that's to be expected.

I had an Accent rental the other day and was pleasantly surprised, so if they actually work on making the Veloster or whatever the gently caress it's gonna be called decent to drive I could be tempted as a commuter car FOR SURE.

At least the front ends do. E: Baby GTR grill on that Accent like woaw/

MrSaturn posted:New Camaro Z/28 Confirmed! It will be interesting to see this work out as its going to pretty much have a lot that the CTS-V does currently and that starts in mid 60s. I think people thinking this will be 40K are in for a surprise when there is no way on that. GM would mess up Vette sells if they found a way to offer a 550HP Camaro with Magnetic Ride at a lower price than a base Vette goes for. Dont see that happening. I also wonder which Tranny options it will be available with? CTS-V comes with stick and lovely 6 speed Auto so maybe this will be the same. If it comes with the same Auto tranny, Im going to be pissed when I go used car shopping for a Z28 in a few years since so many of the drat things will turn up with the auto. Im running into that a lot now trying to track down used V2 CTS-Vs
