Yes, annother point. Note, how small some European Countries are. Not only Liechtenstein or Luxemburg - you can even pass the whole Belgium without the need to stop for a tank-stop or a pee.

And you must imagine, what happens, when you have to brake harder. Note, where the cupholder are mounted! Always in a position, where they or the fluid inside can splash into the dashboard, the glove-box or into the middle-console!

So no cup-holders for me. I'm just not sure, if my Omega has one. I've never looked for that. I prefer to take real bottles with me. there can be annother problem, which maybe is unknown for Americans: it's getting less and less in the last years, but in Europe we still have sometimes glass-bottles. And they are too heavy for a cup-holder. Even full 0.7 or 1 liter-plastic-bottles can bee too heavy for these weak plastic-rings. The 1.5 liter-bottles are too big sized either.

With 9 cupholders, I have no shortage, we almost never use them all. But as antp pointed out, small trips don't require lots of storage for water or soft drinks (water is more healthy for you, Caffeinated soft drinks will dehydrate the body)



I've done that before in some cars, and it works!

Yes indeed, I forgot (here too actually fast-food cups are like that)
I was rather thinking to metallic cans (right word?)
But the watertightness of such cup tops is not always perfect...
(as I said, long straight lines are not as long & common here than in USA )

Nor can I, or most other Americans. The cups we use always have a top on them, like this:

Hmm they rather chose between drink and drive
I guess that the need of cup holder is due to very long trips on straight lines.
Here distances between things are smaller, so you drive for less time.
I do not know for others, but usually when I drink in the car I have a plastic bottle with a cap, so not need of a cup holder for that
(and anyway I don't imagine having an open cup in my car, from how I drive in roundabounds and other turns )

Naw, they've got cupholders. It's called a handbrake. Just wedge the container between the handbrake and seat.

Most Euorpean cars don't have cup holders, becuase appearntly humans on your continent don't have the biological need to drink fluids.

Very nice looking Chevy. Congrats.

I don't have any cupholder in my 1998 Saab... And it's a GM too, the GM logo is all over the place. I was never too convinced that was a good thing though.
