Off topic, but they don't do it because because it's a safety issue
Going back in time... After the Mercedes 300SL gull wing and before the DeLorean there was a gull wing car called the Bricklin SV-1 (Safety Vehicle 1)
Wonder why it died (it looks crappy, but that's to today's standards, besides the point)?
The media said what if the car rolls over? Your "safe" car is now a coffin.
It's for the same reason they don't do scissor or Lambo doors on mainstream cars!
