Update: Honda Skydeck, the DeLorean for soccer moms (sorta)
Behold, the chariot of the McFly clan. If Doc Brown had to design a time travelin' auto that could (comfortably?) seat six instead of two, we'd probably end up with the Honda Skydeck up above. While the Skydeck trades sleek curves for the DeLorean's boxy bulk, it has the same gull-wing doors similar scissor doors up front, with sliding doors in the back.
It's just a concept at the moment — one that Honda is showing off in its native Japan. It's pretty, for sure, but we're glad that McFly was too young for a minivan. Check out more of the Skydeck in the gallery below.
Update: The doors on the Skydeck are indeed scissor doors and not gull-wings as the article originally stated. Thanks for the catch, guys!

Those are scissor doors, as on a Lamborghini; not gullwing as on a DeLorean. The liked article has this correct.

"...the same gull-wing doors...?" Dude, go back and watch Back to the Future. tkdnate is right - the're no where near the same.

Scissor doors are cool until you're in a garage.

LOL... it's okay Kevin... Just remember, gull-wings are meant to give you brain damage. Scissor doors are meant to amputate limbs.

You should just rewrite the whole thing. Without the gullwing doors reference, the whole thing sounds silly and out of place.

I've seen enough hondas with scissor doors. This is lame...
I mean seriously, you close that door too hard, and your glass is gonna shatter.

Loojs sweet but does it have a price? or is it like a piece of candy you cant have? Does it come with a vehicle cover since garage parking is impossible without a possible ten foot clearence? Please get back to me on this.....also would like to know if its electric or what gas milage it gets. If it is electric i do think consumers should know its well over a thousand for battery replacement. Also....white lasts for only so long....five minutes with my boys and their sports...is grey or black an option for interior?also looks low to the ground do you have anything for rougher terrain......get back to me.... :)
on your cellphone!
