Every car like this should have sliding rear doors.

Agreed. See Mazda5, a car I've been considering for the fam now that we've got a little one. The only problem is that the mileage isn't that great. I wish they'd offer it with a diesel of some sort, preferably turbo diesel

Yes we have. It was originally brought over a few years ago during the Daimler Chrysler experiment. It's since been rebadged with it's original Mercedes Benz badges as is still available here in all sorts of guises.

these are awesome, if they are strong enough to tow a car, they would be perfect for track days!

...and the taxi concept. I liked this pic because it gave some idea as to what it is like in the rear seats with the extra glass in the roof. Pretty sweet if you ask me!
