No open bottles of alcohol beverages allowed in cars in US (at least in Michigan)!
In Finland that's not a problem.

I think we've beaten the coffee cup holder thing to death and need to move this conversation to something more substantial....like the visor mirror. I can't tell you how many times I've nicked myself shaving cuz the light just isn't bright enough for me to see what I'm doing. Especially in early morning traffic when the sun is at such a low angle. And for plucking my nose hair....useless. I tell ya.....
I drove past a woman this morning on the way to the office and she was doing her make up, reading the paper, talking on a mobile, shaving her legs, berating her kids and making an origami crane......all whilst she was driving at 60kms in peak hour traffic 
Those girls sure know how to multi task

I think this guy may be a BMW cup holder designer
Perhaps. But in his defence .... one of the things I love about Europe is the very, very civilized practice of actually stopping the car, sitting in the cafe for a few minutes to sip a cup of tea (coffee, expresso, etc). I'm not convinced that our North American practice of the "drive-thru" is civilized.
Having said that ... I admit that I use the Tim Hortons drive-thru. A medium tea seems to stay in the cupholder but I admit that I don't trust it.
Cheers
