First review of this thing I've seen...don't particularly care about this segment, but glad it exists I suppose. Holy hell, though - that A pillar is bigger than the car itself!

A Pillers are getting a lot bigger to meet stricter crash regulations. We might not like it aesthetically but it makes the cars stronger.

Wow, thanks Kinja! At least the link itself should work...

This concerns me
The AC condenser is inches behind a very protective grid of... thin plastic, I don't even see a support bar there. Thats one 12 inch rock, or branch or what-have-you that's going to be expensive of leave you stranded.

Too bad the U.S. is too picky about exposed roll cages in new vehicles. Build one of these with some thin a-pillars with some DOM tubing behind it, and I'm sure it'd be just as strong. They could put smaller crappy plastic over it if they'd like. Those A-pillars are too much.
