DB S600 Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 What's up everyone? The two front center cupholders on the LX470 are EXTREMELY shallow! I purchsed two lexus coffee mugs and they are always just about to tip over when I make a turn. I know that there are two additional cupholders in the center compartment (that are deeper) - but they are also MUCH more akward to use. Has anyone come across any mods that can be made to the two shallow ones in question - so to make them more functional? Thanks, JJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, JJ. ← I agree on what appears to be an oversight by the Lexus Design Team. Just purchased a 2001 ES300 with same issue. Cups tipping during turns. Until something else is available, I am using travel mugs with a screw lid to prevent incidental spills. GeorgiaSam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB S600 Posted January 9, 2005 Author Share Posted January 9, 2005 Sam - I could not agree more. Major oversight. On both the vehicle's cupholder design AND the Lexus accessory dept - where ALL of the travel mugs sold are tall and thin. The only "wide and low ones" are just regular mugs (the non travel type) that do not have lids. I wish there was some sort of plastic insert (into the cupholder area) that would remedy this problem.
