mwengler is offering the 2005 Mercedes CLK320a as an example of a luxury car that doesn’t have “good, if sometimes absurd” cupholders, as a counterpoint to your own reported experience of always finding good cupholders in luxury cars.
I said “counterpoint”, not “counterexample” or “contradiction”. I’m sure paper-machine’s experience is just as he says. On the other hand, clearly some other people’s experience differs. It’s worth noting the latter to give context to the former.
I’m sorry for your loss?
What does this have to do with my comment...?

You can’t have a counterpoint to someone’s experience. He always found luxury cars to have good cupholders. You can’t say he’s wrong about that...
