is one of the things I like about the c900...

well, I lie (kind of): when you open the glove box, there are 2 *very* shallow cup holders formed in the back of the glove box door! the idea being that nobody would actually have a use for cup holders *while* they are driving... ha!

I'm as bad as any other North American... I drink coke on the road. A coke bottle doesn't fit in the butterfly cup holder of the 9-5 (and I don't mean a 2L, the small ones also - it's the shape)... I don't care... but I do prefer the simple aesthetics of the c900 and 9-5 cup holders vs the obtrusive ones in most other cars... I remember when cup holders were the defining sales features for many American cars ("square juice round hole")... says something for sure!
