As a Canadian living in the US, I am going to have to break ranks
with my commonwealth companions and side with the Yanks on this
one. American driving conditions & distances make cup holders a
valuable accessory, not unlike automatic gearboxes for that
matter. I leave for work at 6am for an hour long motorway commute
and greatly appreciate the cup holder in my XJ6.
On a recent drive from Nantes to Bordeaux and back, my only criticism
of the Citroen rental car was that the cup holders were a joke! They
could not support a bottle of water under even the most gentle of
braking, forcing me to recap it each time, or place it between my
knees, hardly conducive to safe driving.
