Excellent suggestion. When my frustration level reaches the boil over point, I'll probably swap for the USDM.
(and burn the other on a pyre of styrofoam coffee cups... I mean recycle it like an earth friendly person)

Do you still use the factory cup holders?
- I understand the locking grooves avoid shifting/spilling. But the stock holder is an oversized plastic brick eating 50% of the space right in the middle of the cavity.

Seems like a cup holder could simply be a 1mm thick ring (or cone) located more forward and not consume so much space.

Meanwhile, I've toyed around with a couple of those cheapo holders available at AutoZone looking for a mount point. So I sympathize with the designers on space limitations.
