Getting rid of the step wells surely helps keep their weight down. Conversely, adding wells will increase the weight.Then why are cars with steps and trapdoors lighter than these ones? Perhaps if the concern is crumple zones at the ends of cars, the doors should be moved to the center of the car. The actual reason is not at all performance-based nor is it technical. It is almost purely commercial in nature. WADR, I don't see how it's commercial. Looks more political to me. |
