I have to agree with Irafatsar. I actually like the cup holder. I think it is an innovative design that blends function with style. It's much nicer than than two-cup monstrosity that flips out of the SLK IMHO. The only complaint I have against it is that the plastic flexes a little too much. If I had the facilities, I'd machine one out of billet aluminum and add an electric motor to it so I could deploy the cupholder from a dash-mounted switch.
