My grand prix has a similar crappy cupholder design. It seems a good cupholder design has been what GM is lacking in many of their cars. Oddly, my Camaro has a way better design then the grand prix, I haven't spilled a drink once.

Except for the 97+ Chevy pickups. They have a pretty dang good cup holder design but the one cup holder is kind of shallow.

ok nevermind that last question.. new one now, the console i got doesnt have any accesory plugs already in it, so do i just need to go pick up two from a parts store and use them??
