Funny example as Americans have been complaining about the lack of cup holder in German cars for a long time.
I still don't understand why it's such a big deal as I pretty much only use them for my phone and use a bottle for long trips, but for some reason you Americans seem to care a lot about them.
Maybe it is because traffic is so bad here that it is natural to drive to work with a cup of coffee. Besides, a "long" trip here could be only 10 miles that takes 45 minutes.
