I think the hand brake makes a good armrest, cheaper too.

I use my handbrake as an arm rest as well
Tho that one that just sits in the front part of the console look interesting... and in a good way. I like how it doesn't cover the cup holders and I wouldn't have to "toss it" to the side if I wanted to use the cup holders.

This is why our Toyota arm rest sits in the closet while the Sportsguy arm rest sits in the car Function over form.

I do, but as I was driving to work today I realized when it's boring traffic I relax more and an arm rest on the center console would be nice.
