Sure, but only to a point. You don't need Camaro or M300 doors for good side impact protection. Slot windows are a design feature these days - they make the roof look chopped. Same on this car. It looks cool, but driving it feels like you are in a gun turret, IMHO. Not my cup of tea. Chances of accidents due to poor visibility definitely increase. Same for the long stretched almost horizontal A-pillars, which have been common on all the gas saver cars recently ...
