Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I really like the design of the new Mazda RX8. Anyone know when this is coming to the US? Much nicer than the new Nissan Z350 or BMW Z4 in my opinion. Of course nothing (unless you start talking expensive exotics, then I could think of a few) is nicer than our very own Boxsters!

POST 2Original post

the rear door is kind of strange. Kind of like some American pick-up trucks (Chevy I believe has a similar door design). I hope it is a better fit the the Nissan Z which is poorly made, in my opinion.... But, like you said, it is not a Boxster.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I guess they call those suicide doors. Not sure where that term came from though.

POST 4Original post

I think the term came from standing outside the door and the car rolling or moving. You would be knocked down by the doors since they are locked in place with you in front of them. by the way, nice car. I really like it except for the narrow looking reara end.

POST 5Original post

The term suicide door came from the old drag racing days when most cars had these doors. Have you ever seen the old movies when two guys race their old cars to the end of a cliff, the winner was the one whom jumped out of the car last. Well the problem with these doors was that if you didn't jump far enough, it would push you over the edge with the car. nice hugh?
