I have a 2005 Mercedes CLK320a, a 4-seater convertible we bought so we could when we wanted to bring our young kids around and still have a convertible. The thing has ONE cupholder in the entire car, in the front reachable by both passenger and driver. I invite you to go in my car if you are in the neighborhood (north county sandy eggo) so you won’t have to say stuff like your previous comment any more. By the way, when I told my then 7 year old daughter that our new 4 seater with one cupholder cost more than her friends new Honda Odyssey witih 3 rows of seats, electric doors, and a dvd player in the back, she thought I was the stupidest man on earth.

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.

And boy, was she right.
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...
