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.

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...
