I'd just like to say - at the risk of getting flamed by the majority - that i LOVE the CUPHOLDER! It draws attention from new passengers when its folded down - "Hey what's this? WOW Cool". Its kinda cute. Admittedly it may have some drawbacks, for instance it caused the following converstation to occur when giving a first ride to a friend:

Friend: "Why do you have a box of straws in your glove box?"

Me: "Umm, heh, heh, well you see, er, the cup holder is a little cumbersome, so I stick my cup in it and leave it there and use a straw to drink it."

So you see - its a conversation starter too!
