Ha ha! One reason (apart from $), that I am still driving my 2003 BMW. The cup holders in the new models are the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.
I have yet to master the art of driving a stick shift and drinking coffee at the same time. I think I need an extra arm. The nearest BMW cup holder is, however, in the perfect place to mount a GPS.
(If the state wanted to outlaw automatic transmissions I'd be all in favor of it. But this is just stupid, even for New Jersey.)
