maybe by that time they'll respond to customer suggestions for side/window airbags!



Stop dreaming. Your concern about safety equipment on these cars only means that they are not for you.



Wow, what an insight! and you know what is best for ignacio just from a single line post of his... impressive! (I'm gonna like this Graemlin too Fritz )

Seriously, the more demand the car gets (and it will get plenty, since it has many points for it to be a success, even without side airbags), the less likely they wil offer side airbags as an option since the will be less motivated to do so.

If they were worried about their customers safety or fate in an accident in the first place they would have done it during development already, and wouldn't purposedly try to fool the more naive section of the public by blowing the need for side airbags in their propaganda under the excuse of a "stiffer" chasis. An element, side airbags, that nowadays have no disadvantages and all advantages, and are therefore becoming mainstream for all cars without a roll cage and helmet, specially for sportcars since their weakest point is side impact protection due to their low height/ side windows and proliferation of heavy high bumpered cars & trucks on the streets. Its just like the seat belts in its day, I still remember people back then saying seatbelts were "unconfortable" or even actually dangerous
