[Mgs] Another cup holder

[Dan DiBiase]

I find it funny that it's a 'German-engineered' cupholder - as for many years, the German cars had among the worst cupholders made! My Audi A4 has a pop-out model in the dash that causes the beverage to sit directly in front of one of the air vents. So, if you have coffee in there, it cools it quickly, even if you close the vent. And it's positioned directly above the radio, so that any beverage that might sweat a little (like a water bottle in the summer) drips directly down on the radio's face. And when you fold it to push it back into the dash, it tilts enough so that any liquid that might have collected in the bottom, dumps directly on the radio! It also has the 'wobblies' if the bottle is a little narrow.

There are 2 cupholders in the center armrest, but if I use them, they interfere with my elbow when shifting. 

Oh well, I didn't but the Audi for the cupholders!

This works really well.  I also put one in my daughter's GT, I attached it
to the tunnel (with a screw).  It fits neatly between the shifter and the
console, and folds up out of the way.  Nice design, and heavy duty.  Not big
enough for a 64oz Big Gulp though!
