Default Most important C7 Question

Im am truly surprised no one has asked, or any leaks or pictures have made it through. This is a particularly important question. Will it have a proper cup holder, not some 2 inch disgrace of a holder, or are we out of luck with the transmission tunnel.

Yeah, what would Zora Arkus-Duntov say about the cup holder issue!!!
Mine holds one 44oz ThirstBuster perfectly--- two not so much.

The C5 cupholder was truely awful, but my wife and I have driven the C6 over 95k miles, all over the U.S., and find the cupholders work quite well.

I'm sure you can find things that don't fit/stay well in them, but nobody in our club seems to be complaining.

And they certainly keep your coffee warm!

My C5 Z was a nightmare dropped drinks over many times before I outlawed them in the car. Well now that the C7 is coming out, I may be able to get a C6 Z
