Rear sedan doors: suicide, or sliding VAN?

I was dreaming just the other day of winning the lottery, and then doing some nice things to my EL....

Front two doors would be scissor doors, though in a unique way. They would pull out (not just at the hinge, the entire door. Think of how a sliding door of a van looks like), and THEN swing up. (Instead of swinging up straight, which usually gives it a weird look.) Anyhow....

What about the REAR doors? Suicide them, to open in the other direction, or............. VAN-style? (Think of soccer-mom's Caravan)... You wouldn't be able to fill up on gas if the door's open, but I think that's beside the point [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I think REVERSE scissor doors would look just too funky [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Why not just have a force field in place of doors? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

I think just suicide rears with normal fronts would be doable.
