Is Your Car Luxurious?

Does your car come with cranny-covers? If you have no choice but to see your cupholders or any console storage areas while in a vehicle, then NO! I’m sorry, but your car isn’t luxurious. It may be sporty, it might be expensive, but it is definitely NOT luxurious!! What’s that, you have a cover for that open area in front of the shifter but your cupholders are always visible? Your car only has “premium/upmarket features.” Maybe if you actually worked harder in life like the rest of us the automaker would have engineered you another cover for your console. But you DIDN’T, and now your kids are stuck going to public school and their names will always be misspelled on news reports! Tsk tsk tsk...

One of my cupholders can be covered, but not the other two. And besides, I’d never keep the cover on anyway :p

I have a 96 I30/Maxima, the four-door sports car. The early cars (95-96) have always-appearing cupholders. Nissan added a cover to the later cars (97-99). The third cupholder was an add-on accessory that is nestled inside the console lid, and is thus covered.

My previous car had cupholders that retracted into the dash.

My old ‘98 Passat had proper wood trim (not plastic) and the ashtray cover was on a soft-close damper. Cupholder? Hidden behind some more wood and it would pop out of the dash above the ashtray — because you shouldn't drink AND smoke AND drive, I guess. They dampered the shit out of that interior — grab handles, glovebox, just about everything. Even the base models.

More and more reasons why Mazda is the most OG of all manufacturers.

My $5000 Mazda does as well. I just wish they covered up the rust better.

My car is a 2006 and no rust! They don’t use traditional road salt here mostly sand and magnesium chloride (liquid).

I’m more impressed that those cup holders are temperature-controlled.

My* cup holders hide away, but they are just stupid.

Kinja'd!!!

* - Pic is not my car, which is about to be loaded on a truck tomorrow and shipped to me. This is my car with its cup holders in their hidey holes.

Nothing says luxurious like, uh, base-ish truck interior?

My tarted up Golf makes me look right at them, but I switched out the cup holders in the M3 for a “euro tray”.

So apparently my vehicle, a 99 F-150 is luxurious if you go with the base trim and bench seats,

Kinja'd!!!

Only 2/3rds luxurious if you upgrade to the folding bench,

Kinja'd!!!

And only 1/2 luxurious if you decide you want the “luxury” trim with buckets, center counsel and leather,

Kinja'd!!!

My truck is only 2/3 luxurious.

Also, what if my cup holders are so hidden and so discreet that there are no cup holders what so ever? I say that it is luxurious in the highest order as there are no tasteless panel gaps and lines to view.
