Along the same lines, there's way too much glass. You're building CARS, guys, not solar ovens :-)

The doors can be excellently counterweighted to have a very decent lift, without the use of gas shocks.
Also, it's worth noting that those aren't gull-wing doors... I'm not technically sure they qualify as scissor doors, since they turn up and out.
Then again, I'm assuming you also have a problem with lift hatches and hoods that are supported by gas shocks as well?
I do agree with the glass comments, though. If I wanted an exorbitant set of windows in my car, I'd just drive my green house.
