Some obvservations:
1.) The side opening does inhibit access to the passenger so it may not be ideal. It works on the Tacoma somewhat because the cupholders are in front of the gearshift and not located inside the cupholders.
2.) Make it open conventionally upwards like on alot of cars, you inhibit rear space for the cupholders BUT....
3.) Rear seats should have their own cupholders if anything. Being that car is this small and the rear seats are almost next to useless its not a big deal. One possible solution:
4.) Have the armrest open up a full 180 degrees and have some shallow(ish?) cupholders on the inside of the armrest (like on a Cavalier/sunfire) Kill 2 birds with one stone. If the rear passengers need cupholders, you got it. If you dont...well...i supposed you can have the armrest be 2 stage where it opens 180degrees or it opens up 90degrees?
5.) another option would be to have the armrest open up like in the lexus cars, where it slides back a little before folding up. But that requires some intrusion space into the driveshaft tunnel between the front seats and the rear seats and im not sure if the FRS/BRZ even has that space or if it does, has enough space for it.
