Question Better cup holders?

Anyone find/have an alternative to the factory cup holders? They are too close together to hold 2 large cups of coffee. Makes it pretty awkward for those road trips. I guess that Porsche doesn't realize that most times aren't spent racing through the twisties.

An "alternative?" Bah! Porsche cup holders... there IS no substitute!

Maybe if you bitch loud enough they'll give you some of those totally worthless left-over clip on cupholders that came with the early Boxsters!

Yeah, as soon as I got my Cayenne I had to "narrow" my drink choices to 2 - espresso and Red Bull.

Small diameters are where it's at, baby. Haven't you heard?

They should put in Boxster style units. The new ones work well except when the inboard one spills down into the radio!

I found something -
Try these, they may decrease your overall acceleration but the cracks soak up any unforseen spills.

actually that is a good idea. often I put a larger drink back there and close the cover to the cup holder to place my burger/fries etc. on.
