Oh the metal torture I like it better than the outgoing model but I wonder why car makers need to copy one another and do these silly creases on the doors and panels. How shopping cart and kickin' doors friendly are they? From the car ownership experience I much prefer these:Looks like what I had. You absolutely could NOT dent those doors.
Well, what do you guys want from a 15 y.o. beater? Still using those curved creases is a questionable design move to begin with and a PITA to keep the car dent free.

Still using those curved creases is a questionable design move to begin with and a PITA to keep the car dent free. My parents old Intrepid had slightly more stylish protectors but that didn't stop it from accumulating various door dents and dings just above the protector. And we were careful with where we parked it. So I don't really understand how the angled sheet metal is going to fare any worse than my parents old Intrepid.I find on my Corolla some of the dings are hidden by the cars creased angles although they are certainly more subdued than on this and other examples.
