The Thread Dedicated to the Worthless Cupholder in Aleros.
I know every alero owner has a story about the worthless cupholder in front of the shifter/gear select, lets hear some stories, and tell us what you use it for.

thats the one i use, the one behind the sifter won't even fit a normal plastic pop bottle, just a can only. THATS the useless one. the front one doesn't fit much either, but i can lean the bottle against the hvac control area.

The one in front of the shifter is the coin holder and the rear one will only fit a can or small water bottle. I've been looking for a unit that fits in the smaller rear one and expands to hold my coffee mug.

I don't understand why some people have issues with the cupholder behind the shifter. Did they have different cupholders different years?

^They're talking about the hole in front of the shifter. The one like right underneath the console face.
It's not a fcking cup holder! We have one right between the seats, and two that flip out from the rear of the console. That's it. I don't know how many people think that the dip in front of the gear selector is supposed to be a cup holder.. It was an ashtray on the smoker models, and on the non-smoking models it's just a place for coins/junk/kleenex (they make facial tissue boxes that fit it)

I think most people that have problems are those with automatics.... shifter goes farther forward and is in the way. I have to put my bottles there becaus they are to tall in the back and get in my way for shifting.
Best part is I use it for my coffee mug... after popping out the rubber it fits a mug with a handle perfectly!!

Correct. The front one was meant to hold a stock ashtray with closable lid. I would put the ashtray cup in their for the OCA Nationals and the judges were "What's that?" It is the stock ashtray, look at the lid on it. They were like we never seen that before.
