A 4 door car with beetle wing doors (why do people call them Lambo' doors ?!) ??? What were they thinking of ? Looks terrible, just like most modified cars do.

generic term, like hoover instead of vaccum, most people know of them as such because Lamborghini are probs best known to Joe Public for having them on their cars.

Plus beetle wing doors sounds shoite (IMO of course)

The reason i ask that is because beetle wing doors , like the ones on that disaster called a ZS, lift up and out. 'Lambo' doors lift upwards only and are known as scissor doors. Nearly as bad as calling exhausts 'zorsts' !!!

Scissor doors are where they open backwards i.e where you open your door the hinge is towards the front of the car on scissor doors the hinge is at the opposite end (middle of the car in the ZS case)
