The Peugeot 1007 looks cool, by the way, thanks for the link. I can’t imagine this feature being popular in the US though. How many Americans park close enough to obstacles that there is limited room to open the doors?

Another strange little car was the 1986 Nissan Stanza. The two front doors were normal, but the two rear were sliding backwards. Couldn’t find any pics though

How about pushing button and the door opens and closes.Hmn?Everything is getting automated right now.
15-20 years ago power windows were big news in cars.
