DOORS
Well now that Peugeot have bought out a car with motorised sliding doors, the Peugeot 1007. Does this mean we are less likely to get dings/dents/scratches in car parks, or will people just park even closer causing further problems [?]

Yes, I agree sliding doors are already in use on a multitude of vehicles when the people carrier came about, car drivers were able to realise the benefits of sliding doors, which van drivers have had for many years. Although people carriers usually allow walk through access to the rear, many drivers will normally use the hinged door alongside them.
The Peugeot 1007 is different to a people carrier design where although there are sliding door(s) fitted, they still have hinged doors to get into the front of the vehicle.
The difference is two powered sliding doors, which open up to provide wide access into both the front, and rear of the car.
Here's a picture of the car.

There is already a software issue with the 1007 sliding doors.
The safety interlock doesn't kick in untill 5 mph, So the doors can be opened if the car is moving along very slowly & then you can speed up again.
Apparently there where loads of journalists driving around with open doors on the press launch.
Reported is Auto Express magazine last week I think.

Electric doors. Just How much unnecessary SXXT do you want in your car?
The new golf GTI is a case in point.
A colleague tells me that it is raw and pure like the first one.
Cobblers; it weighs twice as much.
But that is because of all the safety equipment.
No, that isn't why you are buying it.
Heavier alloy wheels, motorised everything and weight weight weight.
that is no way to build a motor car.

So it looks like the R & D of the product isn't being done properly, and is again being left to the customer/journalist etc, to find out the product(s) problems.
Previously Daimler Chrysler released the "A" Class only to discover that it could turn over to easily in an evasive manoeuvre called the "Elk test." This was featured in Auto Express a few years ago, when the fault was discovered by a Swedish journalist.
As soon as they were aware of the problem Daimler Chrysler had to develop a system to counteract the problem, this was mainly electronically based adding more weight, [xx(] and complexity to the car, and was called E.S.P.
