Well then, a little late to the party... sorry for me. What can I say? I'm impressed.

I do, though, think a little of the aesthetic appeal will be lost with the translation to regular door pillars.

Otherwise, an extremely interesting looking vehicle.

So, the activehybrid has no door pillars?

From press release:
The roofline reaches its highest point directly behind the steering wheel and its shape is complemented by the one-piece chrome window surrounds and the absence of door pillars. On the side panels, a contour line extends from front to rear at the level of the door handles and emphasises the dynamic wedge shape of the car.

Very nice.

I 'm so happy that the controversial new kidney grille was not used. It works better this way.

None of them have door pillars:

Still looks hot and sexy, but not as nice as the concept, maybe they can paint a coat of gloss black on them?
