Could be worse, Bill, have you seen the pop-out cupholders in the dash of
the A4's? The ones that hold your drink precariously just above the radio?
I do not drink in my car frequently but when I make early-morning treks to
Maryland (leaving my house at 5:30 am) I need my Wawa 20-oz'er badly, and
tend to keep a wary eye on it. Oh, and it's got a built-in hot liquid
cooler, being located directly in front of the right-hand center vent....
Terrible design.
