Irregular doors

I've always said that if I ever win the lottery, I'm going to buy a car with irregular doors. Like a Lamborghini or a 1982 DeLorean or a bicycle. Volvo is now surprisingly joining their ranks, at least as far as the concept car level, building "the first prototype car designed by women for women," the Washington Post reports.

Some of the features don't appeal to me; I don't need the gas pedal to adjust to different size heels. But others cross gender lines with flying sails: automatic seat adjustment, theater-style rear seats, dirt-resistant exterior paint, and more. More details and photos are available from Automotive Intelligence and CARkeys.
