That was done by design. I didn't buy the Saab for cupholders. I bought it because it was a driver's car and didn't look like everything else on the road. If VW loses its edginess it will lose its core fan base. My Saab had one cupholder – in the glove compartment where I couldn’t reach it. That was done by design. I didn’t buy the Saab for cupholders.

In the US, he said, cars are where people have breakfast." This is why I drive a German car! If VW/Audi makes their cars like Chevy Malibu's there is no reason to be a "driver", here I come BMW. “in germany cars needed to reflect the national habit of driving in a spirited and aggressive manner.

You can probably find room for plenty of cupholders in a Panamera, but I don't know that you need more than one in a 911. http://www.cargurus.com/blog/2009/10/26/imagine-a-volkswagen-badged-porsche-911 And Volkswagen may start using Porsche’s 911 and Panamera platforms.

Although, I think phasing out the Passat for a new compact sedan makes sense to me. I just hope VW remembers who they are and how much their “Drivers” have kept them afloat in such a terrible year for auto sales. VW is making some puzzling changes.
