"While we&amp;#039;ve seen small minivans from Opel before, like the Zafira, they&amp;#039;ve often received scant attention because GM kept these vehicles in Europe. However, with the closer ties between Opel and Saturn, the Meriva concept is one worth noticing, not only for its unique design, but also because someday it may be headed our way.   Although its shape is a monospace design, it&amp;#039;s not boxy in the least. In addition its sculpted body panels, the side glass swoops low and the windshield wraps up into the roof to give the occupants a panoramic outside view.   Opel is also touting the vehicle&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Flex Door&amp;quot; design that uses rear-hinged back doors that open wide to a 90-degree angle, offering great access to the rear seating area. Unlike virtually all vehicles on the market today in which the front doors must be open to use these rear-hinged access doors, the Mireva&amp;#039;s rear doors open independently of the front doors, making them far more practical in everyday use. While most vehicles with these so-called &amp;quot;suicide doors&amp;quot; feature B-pillarless designs, the Mireva retains that structural element, which not only allows the front and rear doors to open independently of each other, but also provides additional protection in side impacts.
