Reply to "Cup Holders, Part Deux....."

I think the uber-engineered cup holders are an attempt to justify the high cost of the cars. Both BMWs I’ve had have been about the least expensive available in their respective years and both had simple molded cup holders in the consoles.  The fancy shmancy models have the fold-out, articulated thingies.

I think you've got it turned around. The quality and cost of the car demands the fancy-schmancy totally over-the-top cupholders. Because the manufacturers think their buyers want complicated crap. And I guess some of them do.

I bought my Cayman because it is the prettiest, best handling, stopping, turning, sounding and fastest daily I can afford. Best bang for buck so to speak. And most importantly, the purest feel, most analog, and it's even got a stick shift.

Plus, if I ever really want to, I can turn off the PSM(Porsche Stability Management) or nanny as I call it. I've had no need to, the car is far more capable than I am. I haven't tracked it, yet.

To some, it's not a "real" one, as it isn't a 911. It did come from the factory with a name I didn't have to add...
