TSaxMan, consider yourself lucky. If you need a cupholder, you can buy a cool looking silver and black one at Pepboys and then bolt it on the passenger side of the console like someone here did.. There was a post somewhere...

And Al, like you, I thought it would essentially be bottomless and have no sides.. but yes, the hole is sleeved, so now it really looks just like an extra change holder or something. You can put stuff in there and get it out easily... the front of the hole is actually curved nicely, so even change is easy to slide up and out. It also makes a better cell phone holder than the drawer in front of the shifter...

I'll try taking some pictures later, but all I have is a camera phone, so it's not that detailed, but it should be good enough. I'm really serious when I say I like the Crossfire a lot more now.. I'm taking it on a 7-8 hour drive this coming weekend, and I wasn't about to put up with the cupholder popping open literally 100 times.
