Default Re: Cup Holder Alternatives... =-)

Any suggestion?
Buy a mini van. JK.
The XF is based on the SLK. Europeans are not big on cup holders. Check e-bay; they have some cup holder that will work. I use my OEM cup holder every day for my coffee without issues. I've found that if you use the stainless steel type of mugs (about 12 - 14 oz.) they stay in place.
