 opel meriva conceptBased on GM's monocab design, the Meriva Concept features what GM calls FlexDoors, with the rear doors swinging open towards the back of the concept -- not unlike the so-called "suicide doors" featured on some classic automobiles. The rear-hinged doors provide 90 degrees of opening and are said to offer easier ingress and egress from the vehicle. The front doors still open conventionally. The vehicle borrows styling elements from past Opel concepts, including the Flexstreme, with sharp side creases but a smooth overall profile. GM says the high roofline leads to improved headroom inside the Meriva Concept, while the relatively wide track provides more stable handling, as well as a dynamic appearance, according to the automaker. Somewhat interesting is the lower side window line, which drops sharply at the rear door in an effort to improve rear passenger visibility. Even if the Opel Meriva Concept doesn't make it to production, we'll be seeing elements of its design in future Opel, Vauxhall, and likely, Saturn products
