Just realized my wife's minivan has the dumbest cup holder placement ever

I was driving her 2017 Honda Odyssey last week and spilled coffee all over the center console because the cup holders are tucked way back near the armrest, not where you'd actually reach. My buddy at the shop pointed out that it's like the engineers never actually sat in the driver's seat and tried to grab a drink while driving. Anyone else find a car where something so simple was just totally backwards?

I remember my old minivan had cupholders that flipped out of the dash and they'd dump your drink every time you hit a pothole. Guess the engineers figured we parents don't need coffee to survive the school run.

Bet they tested those cupholders with an empty cup, not daycare dropoff.
