lol@ Litre of cola!
The problem with the Subaru retractable ones are they're vertical. I wouldn't mind fabricating some cup holders if they were horizontally-retractable with the cup-holder split ring opening up like a camera shutter, Bond styles. Then they could fit in below the head unit, and the bin in front of the trans fascia can act as a drip tray :P |

EF cupholders go lose after a while and the drinks eventually go everywhere in panic stops. If anyone knows of a fix pm me

AU consoles in Eseries look craptastic. Seen it done and meh...
EF Cupholders are craptastic aswell. Maccas drinks fly out of them with ease. As wayne said the only ones I could see working are slide out ones from the stereo surround like in your Subaru's and Mitsubishi Lancers

I'd love them but I see a problem shifting into 4th!
So I will have to go without.

The EF/EL cupholders do bugger all unless you have a normal can, just stick it between your legs or between the seat and console.

Personally I think I'll stick with my custom one and just put up with the trouble shifting into 4th When I put mine in I considered using a rubber band instead of that tape (see pic posted ages ago) because the plastic rim was broken already and it would have meant that I could hold bigger bottles, but who really wants to be able to drive with a longneck? (if only it was legal!). The setup shown works for everything between red bull cans to maccas cups and 600ml bottles with no stress
