Like most features of car design, we’ve reached a point where innovation, at least from a styling perspective, has become fairly stale. There aren’t many major features that make production cars unique. Pickups, sedans and SUVs still appear as one might expect, with the exception of the Tesla Cybertruck, which received a lukewarm reception, at best (and in fact after years of weak sales production of which will be wound down at Tesla's Texas factory next year). Apparently, consumers have limits regarding a fresh design.
Sometimes innovation drives style and the necessity of creating an entry to an enclosed structure like a car body falls to the car door. Conventional doors are hinged at the front and swing out creating a method of egress from a vehicle and a tool to create autobody dings when influenced by heavy wind gusts and careless operators.
