GMC Granite Concept @ 2010 Detroit Auto Show

Well, we dodged a bullet here with this concept vehicle. We were beginning to suspect that the 2010 Detroit Auto Show would see the death of that oldest of auto show concept tropes, the concept car with suicide doors. Then along comes this nifty little gray box, the GMC Granite concept, and it has rear-hinged rear doors. Whew!Of course, GMC doesn't call them suicide doors, lest that remind people of, you know, suicide. They are now "French doors," like the ones you might have seen on HGTV. (We wonder if the "French" reference might be a little too wimpy for the professional-grade brand. Maybe "Sub-Zero doors," would work better.)
