They eliminate flex between the door and the frame. This makes the door rigid relative to the rest of the car and helps to reduce overall flex through the whole car. That is the theory. Supposedly they work quite well.

I've seen videos of cars (Genesis Coupe FWIW) on the track where the camera was behind the car door looking forward and the gap between the door and the body varies as the car slaloms through turns.

Not clear if Scion is going to bring this particular piece of equipment to the US. It may have something to do with crash tests or something, don't know.
