Umm... hmmm, I never thought of that. Smart ForTwo went on sale in Canada, with NO cupholders... the public were outraged! (I think the latest Smart ForTwo has them).
I wonder if the Corvette has cupholders..?!?!?
Gotta do some benchmarking. I've never seen the latest (and last) MR2 or Celica up close. Even Toyota is pulling out of the sports car market in North America... again. The numbers aren't there, sad.
I'd order my X1/9 with cupholders delete, that is what a girlfriend is for

(she can drive, I'll hold the cups...)
