Workable Countryman Cupholder solution

Our cup holders suck, attached is a more workable solution than the hundreds of thousands of euros that were burned up on the moronic cup holder design we have today.

Hey at least I can roll the windows up and down and have full access to the sport button and fog lights.

You know, there is some truth in that. Plus, in Europe, they don't typically sell 64oz. Big Gulps. I've got a $3 travel coffee cup that fits in there fine.

Yeah, but now you need a larger foot-holder!

One of my rear cupholders exploded into a ton of pieces recently, as did the iphone holder. Not sure they are the sturdiest things.

I have no problem fitting drinks in at all, getting them out can be a treat.

I don't even want to think about where you keep your snacks.

I can't believe you didn't disguise this like they do new models when they road test them. Now you run the risk of the interior Einsteins at MINI and BMW copying your design!

That having been said, my design fix ideas lean more in this direction.

I think you can get new ones under warranty

If I have any liquids in the car, it's generally a Nalgene bottle full of water. I put it horizontal on the rail and use the attachments to hold it in place.

Oh that's great. I'll give the dealership a call. One cup holder in the back is not enough.
