A friend sent me this. Evben if not real, still seems like an interesting futuristic idea, especially if there is no loss in height or frame strength. Could be pricey though. Check out teh video clip - pretty cool folks. Whaddaya think??

It reminds me of the BMW Z1, made in the late 80's. Had the same technology even though the door didn't slide all the way under the car.

This is technology that was first shown in Lincoln concept vehicles in the early 90's, but never made it to market. I guess someone is putting some money into trying to give it another go.

It might work for Florida or California cars, or show cars, but here in the midwest, for a daily driver, I could see that freezing up easily. Plus, in the winter, all of you heat just went out the gaping hole in the side of your car. Really cool concept though...
