Here's my tuppence-worth: in my CLK Cab I have TWO cupholders, no less,
which I chose as a no-cost option over a storage shelf or something. One
swings out, and it is to the right, which means (in the UK) the cup is
practically in my lap. This is the holder I tend to use more as it is
wider...
In the old days I bet Merc would have had it swing the other way in RHD
countries, so it is more bothersome to the passenger.

In the 190E there is no cupholder other than the two depressions in the open
glovebox lid and I recall managing quite well even when I was using it as my
business car and driving great distances..

Certainly if it is. The cupholder piece cost over $50 each time to
replace and the ABS controller was $500 just for the part.

In the sixties, I made a few trips between Montana and New Jersey. I
stopped every 200 miles whether I needed gas or not, get a drink, and
take a leak. No air conditioner and no cup holder....what the heck was a
cup holder?

I just see one 'had had'

 

I read somewhere before that seventeen hads is the most you can do and
still make sense, but you have to allow a middle-eastern pair of
names, "Had" and "Had Had."
