I had a 93 toyota previa with pop out cup holders, they worked awesome! They come straight out too.

The 2011 console has "right size" cup holders. Still in the awkward position.

There is plenty of room above the glove box for just such and install. I will have to install it slightly in and attach the factory GM Plastic of the HHR to the front of the pop out cup holder but, I don't think it will be to hard to complete if I can't find a better solution.

If anyone knows of a pop out cup holder, that comes out straight or to the left. Please post the vehicles information. Year, Make, Model,etc... THANKS!!!
Check BMW parts. My 2006 had pop out cup holders. The drives one was in the center dash and popped out and swung left towards the driver. The passenger holder was near the A-piller and popped straight out. The were strong too, held a large soda from BK and McD's just fine...

COOL!!! I will have to look for one at the junkyard. Thanks!!!

edit: Looks like the back is curved on it.
I found 3 different ones for the previa







The last one, just looks cheap. Looks like it would break quick.

Them BMW ones are to far away from the driver if I mounted them in my HHR. Still cool looking though.

It may end up back in next to the gauges, lower right, next to the left vent. There is a nice little space there where the brightness control button would work perfectly. I may end up getting a new control button with dome light control. Then add a dome light in the center later. I am not to fond of the map light deal on my rear view. When someone uses the passenger one the mirror moves.

Solman98= What kind of cups do you have in yours.The only thing that ever stayed in mine without falling out was a Coffee cup with a Handle. Then there was the issue of no lid so it still spilled. Ever 32 oz or less, or Fast Food cup other then the Extra Large cups from Wendy's Tips to the side or if in the front holder falls backwards.

Even my Travel Mug flipped out of it a few times. Reminds me of Freightliner's Cup holders in the Columbia, and Century. They where only good for Cigarettes and change. LOL

I can yank the parking brake now and slide the car sideways, with no mess. Not to mention taking 45mph turns at 60 with no mess. It holds soda cans tight now too.

I tried the flush mounted USB. It did work great but I have other electronics that have larger Power adapters.

First time I found out it was at a bad location is when I busted a $22.00 Verizon Charger for my phone and bled all over the place. LMAO WHOOPS!

Everyone, Thanks for the comments.
