Cup holders

Found this article and thought it was interesting considering our current cup holders.

http://www.businessweek.com/articles...older-designer

Aparently GM has a person specificly for cup holder design.

“We don’t want a design that basically gives you the choice between using your cup holder or your shifter,”

Did they keep her away from the camaro? Cuz that's exactly what we got. Lol.

I believe this was intentionally done to discourage anyone from drinking in the camaro.

Take a walk down the hall. Finger-flick Chris in the back of the head, and tell her to take a 4-hour trip on a mountain road in a M6 Camaro with her Big Gulp cup. Bet she leaves paint on the rails and loses all feeling in her right arm!

Yeah pretty sure they forgot manual transmission existed with this test. It can be done but if that drink is in the front cup holder you're better off just keeping it in second the entire time you drive.

Obviously you have issues. Cause here in 'Merica, we love to drive down the highway and guzzle not less than 48 ounces of sweet coke*.


* - Called "coke" as a generic term for anything carbonated like a good American should call them.
