So, five years ago, my fiancee and I bought a 97 Impreza Brighton from CarMax. It was clean, AWD, small (fiancee's preference), and auto. Nice car, so far, except I was a little disappointed that it didn't have a cupholder.
Well guess what I just discovered!? It does! I found it while cleaning out the center console area during a long-overdue detailing. (My fiancee is not pitching a fit that I'm taking up the garage all winter with my project car, a BMW 325iC, so I thought I'd thank her by cleaning her Impreza up nice and neat.)
That's a very well-disguised cupholder.
