I doubt seriously we will open the ones in the GX very often, and I am not looking forward to the first time my 6 year old opens one, doesn't tell me, and it ends up staying open in a rainstorm...

Does anyone know why they insist on the barn door?
I've owned 3 Honda CRX's. I could transport 8' 2x4's inside a CRX with the rear hatch closed. I was initially disappointed with the cargo configuration of the GX. Then, (duh), I realized the the GX has a ROOF RACK! Now that I've figured out how to use the barn door lock and the roof rack, the barn door isn't so bad after all.

If you go to a country that drives on the right hand drive you'll see why, for me its not a big deal on the plus side I don't need to worry about replacing the struts.
