Just noticed something in the road/track test video: the vehicle has a single scissor-type side door (a la Lamborghini), rather than the top opening canopy. Oh, and it also appears to require temporary suction cups to open that side door.

Reading comments on various sites that covered this vehicle, the #1 concern seems to be: "YOU'LL BE SQUASHED LIKE A BUG IN THAT THING!", followed closely by dislike for the top canopy door on the Geneva concept vehicle, e.g. "what happens when you have to get in or out in the pouring rain?"
