anasazi 03-14-2008, 12:16 PM so this should be a totally off the wall question...
what about a change holder?
with more than just dimes nickels and quarters? maybe pennies and dollar coins as well?
and make it deep and not the shallow one supplied in the 4th gen :)
all those pennies and overflow change rattles like crazy in my ash tray
09camaroZ28 03-14-2008, 03:53 PM personally i dnt care if it has a change holder or not but if ppl want a change holder then lets hope they put one in
mpilarZ281992 03-14-2008, 04:40 PM Put the change in your pocket. Hell, as long as they have a cup holder im cool.
Bradl1982 03-15-2008, 07:22 AM Change holder? That's what you have pockets for.
EllwynX 03-15-2008, 05:50 PM I don't think I've ever even used one of those change holders in a car. 2 cupholders for the front passengers and I'm content.
fastball 03-15-2008, 05:59 PM Change holders are fine. Cup holders are not. There's a reason BMW refused to put cup holders in their 3 series untill just recently, and they are afterthoughts at best: cars are for driving.
And if it were up to me, automatic transmissions would be relegated to Buicks, and everything else would be manual transmission only.
But that's just me :o
If they put a cup holder in it, lets hope they put it somewhere where you can actually use it. I can't stand trying to drive my M6 with anything in the cup holder, because your drink just gets in the way. Obviously the moron who decided to put the cup holder between the stick and the armrest didn't ever drive a manual!

mpilarZ281992 03-17-2008, 04:56 PM For those who think we dont need cup holders, try ordering a couple of drinks at your local McD--that an acrobatic accomplishment..... now three drinks -HHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA
19z28camaro02 03-17-2008, 10:44 PM Seriously, it needs two, well placed cup holders. I went from driving my Z daily to an 03 CTS. OMG, TWO CUPHOLDERS, SERIOUSLY, OMFG. IT'S GLORIOUS!!!!
Hylton 03-18-2008, 09:58 AM The change holders GM puts in cars do not even fit the change we use up here in Canada. Nobody has ever been smart enough to make one that fits "loonies" and "twonies". Decent cup holders are definitely a must. I would also like to see those little plastic clips you find in Volvos that are against the windshield which are good for holding parking stubs and receipts.
Dunno about you guys, but carrying change inside the car is very useful as you might need to feed the meter sometimes and comes in handy too if you need some change for the drive thru. Also, my change sometimes slide out of my pocket when I am driving and it falls into the pivots of the seat.
As for cup holders, I think it's a given. I mean if you go cruising on a hot summer afternoon, how nice would it be to have an ice cold drink to gulp on every so often. I took my Camaro to several long distance vacations and it is nice not having to do a pit stop every so often to buy a drink, or having to buy a bottled drink and dumping it on the sides of your seat for an easy reach.

BMW's are expected to be able to be driven legally at 100mph+ speeds on a semi regular basis, so yes i'd say having a drink holder might be a distraction.
the average camaro will very rarely see 100mph+ and the only legal time this would happen is at a track where your generally not going to be snacking while driving, so a cup holder isn't detrimental :)

Are you suggesting that the bozo sipping his grande double mocha latte espresso in 35 mph rush hour trafic is any less dangerous than sipping it at 100 mph on the Autobahn?
cjmatt 03-27-2008, 02:21 PM well i hope they didnt let holden design this change holder if they put one in. the one they put in the gto was apparently designed for aussie money. none of the american change would stay in it
RS Dragster 03-27-2008, 02:27 PM Are you suggesting that the bozo sipping his grande double mocha latte espresso in 35 mph rush hour trafic is any less dangerous than sipping it at 100 mph on the Autobahn?
Of course it's less dangerous. Reaction time required for 35 mph < Reaction time required for 100+. Are you kidding? Just because there's more bozo's doing, doesn't mean it's more dangerous.
kanys 08-06-2008, 08:13 PM I am happy with the cupholders, for me the change holder looks cheap, not sure why (maybe because I feel if gives off the vibe that you are trying to save every penny, although I am all for being thrifty).
Good Ph.D 08-12-2008, 05:09 PM A change holder might be useful, if I ever used cash...
Jason Dove 08-13-2008, 01:11 AM A change holder is just an invite for some punk to smash a window...
