When I bought my car in '03 I found one that replaces the center console armrest (cassette holder). However, having an open drink where your elbow is in a manual is pretty stupid, so I removed it for a generic armrest and I use a door hanger for holding coffee on the rare occasion I do a food run in the car. Ironically the car is one of the few places I don't eat.
There is a simple solution to the cup holder issue.
Use the headlight washer pump and plumb the feed line into the car near the drivers seat. Who uses head light washers anyhow.

Run the suction line from the pump into a new reservoir located in whatever engine space you want. Hot location for coffee "like near the headers" or "intercooler area" for cold drinks.
Whenever you are thirsty just pull the headlight washer switch and you can pump whatever beverage you like
