I kinda got used to driving with my drink pinned between my knees in my 91 Z. Cupholders shmupholders. Cupholders are for cell phones and change anyway, right?

i think the only thing that no cupholders in the camaro would accomplish would be pissed off customers. one car on the market with no cupholders will not change the way americans drive their cars. to think not having a cupholder will prevent someone from driving w/o a drink and therefore reconnecting with the driving experience is just crazy

would have to go as well.

thats why that design is no good.

i never said anything about better driving either. all i was stating was the fact that YOU want no cupholders so you can enjoy the road. others may enjoy the driving experience more witha drink. make up, cell phone, etc is more of a safety hazard and i do not disagree with that. come to think of it i could care less about any of this
