The whole point of suicide doors was to open up the whole interior of the car to make getting in or out easier. On 4-door cars, this generally entailed removing the centre post.
On the Yaris, I don't think you could make a case that getting in the rear seat would be any easier with the door hinged at the back, even if the centre post were removed. Anyway, with the safety implications of the necessary mods, it would all be utterly impractical for a road car - just good for show. Maybe a 2-door would be better. Why not just expend the enormous money and bodywork talent required on gull-wing doors, or something? |
