Renault Avantime
The Renault Avantime is a three-door luxury MPV coupé made by Renault in France from 2001 to 2003. Its weirdest quirk: There are only two doors on an MPV, each on a double-hinged arm, and the front windows drop on their own when you fold a seat.
Renault asked Matra to build a two-door minivan coupé with no B-pillars and a glass roof. Hardly anyone bought one, which only makes it cooler.
