Volvo S60 Concept Video Shows Off Magic Doors [Detroit Auto Show]

Apparently normal hinged doors aren't good enough for the recently unmasked Volvo S60 Concept. Make 'em open automagically, and make the rear doors translate and rotate instead of swing. That's better.


We just saw the first real images of the Volvo S60 concept set to be unveiled at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show, but we weren't prepared for the door show it puts on in this video. Instead of functioning with a hinge and swinging open as doors on cars have been doing for over a century now, this S60 Concept apparently uses a double hinge which makes the doors translate back and rotate out. Let's focus on how much this makes the car look like some form of insect ready to take flight and forget for a moment that this layout would conveniently trap passengers when the car is anything but parallel parked.

Spy Shots: Saab 9-4

Filed under: , , ,

If you were to order a black Saab 9-4, as of now you can almost see what your CUV will look like. If things go as originally planned, it will go into production in about a year. Up front is pure Saab, the rear hatch couldn't say SportCombi more forcefully, and the sloping shoulder line and window profile are 9-5. It's supposed to go into production in about a year, but hopefully we'll get to see it in Detroit in a few weeks since who knows where things will be a year from now.

New Toyota Prius Teaser Solves Mystery Of The Disappearing Adjustable Seat [2010 Toyota Prius]

Toyota continues to stick with its strategy of slowly releasing tiny teasers of the 2010 Toyota Prius through the good folks at PriusChat despite the fact that we've seen the full car. But whereas the previous teasers left us with questions, this latest photo answers a question Prius owners have had since the first model rolled off the assembly line: What the hell is up with the seats? Prius seats have until now lacked proper adjustments, something a technologically forward-leaning car like the Prius should be expected to have. We'll be sure to sit in them at the Detroit Auto Show in January and tell you what we think.
