high performance doors

The rear door opens almost 90 degrees. Has to be the easiest car to get in and out of in the back I have ever had. The front door now has nice detents to keep it open half way.

Lol, looking at the thumbnail of your picture, due to the shadows, it looks like a really bad head-on crash.

When I first glanced at the OP, I thought it referred to "nice dents" in the front door. At the risk of hijacking the thread (a risk I'm usually willing to take) does anyone know if the company plans to offer body-color side bumpеr strips (like those on the '03-06) as a dealer-installed option? They aren't currently listed as an accessory, but maybe they'll come later.

Yes, I know, most owners would rather park at the far end of the parking llot then despoil the priistine flanks of their car with bumpеr strips. Well, sometimes you can't avoid having some door-flinging defective in an '84 Coupе Deville park next to you, and door dings really spoil my day.

That's bizzarre. Out of the thousand or so pictures I've seen of the 07 Sedan, I never once noticed that the new model doesn't have the bumper strips like my 03 does. Good catch on that DWP.....I don't know how I missed that. I know for a fact that those strips have saved me from minor dents on a couple of occasions.

My '03 didn't have them and in 54,000 miles I never had one door ding. Lucky I guess.

Ok I lied. You can see how much I missed my '03. I forgot they had them. But what I did noticed is there are very low almost useless specially with SUV's.
