Cup Holders
I wonder how long you have to own a car before you've noticed, well, everything? Two days ago I found something out - the center console cupholder, if you pull the divider out and try and turn around the rubber mat below it, you'll find the front cup holder's somewhat smaller than the back one. I understand German engineers about as much as I understand the mind of my wife - which is to say, hardly at all. Anyone else? (On the cupholders, not my wife.)

I can never get a fully-stemmed wine glass to stay stable in the cupholders. Keeps tipping and spilling out my merlot when I have to slow down for school zones.

Your automobile has been designed with sufficient headroom to permit the proper utilization of a sophisticated piece of technology known as the "beerhat".

Of course another factor is that eating or drinking while driving is illegal in much of Yerrup, meaning only the passenger should need a cupholder while driving.
Makes you wonder how we survive, with a cheeseburger in one hand, a Diet Coke in the other, while our left ear and shoulder are occupied on the cell phone, doin' 80 (that's MPH, not KPH) down the freeway, changing lanes and steering with our knees.

So, I've confirmed that the larger of the two cup holders on the GL will actually hold a 2-liter bottle!
This just goes to show that MB really did build this vehicle with the American consumer in mind.
So why do I need 2-liters of Soda in my GL? We were pulling an all-nighter for work yesterday, and I had to run out for the essential fuel for late-night IT projects.

roses
Entire dozen roses (for wife on valentines day) with glass vase fit in large cup-holder. I guess I beat out the folks who have the bud vase in their Volkswagen bug. Well, on second thought, maybe not.
