Cup holders are bad, especially the American-sized ones popular in Fords (for super-size McDonalds drinks perhaps), but what do you think is worse?

My vote goes to the little dust-cap removing tool that IIRC was first found in the petrol flap of the series one Vectra

Why? I've never come across a clean compressor at a garage, so why avoid touching the caps...

A flat-mate of mine marvelled at these when we saw in on Top Gear, he seriously was interested in getting his own at Halfords! But then he owned a 306 and aspired to a 406...

Probably spend multiple millions with marketing bods doing customer research to come up with that from one suggestion from a lday with exceptionally long nails, who once broke one taking her dust cap off.

Results, Vauxhall thinks it has a USP to outsell Ford, VW et all, spends further millions on design consultants, and finally releases with their brand new (honestly it doesn't share anything with the outgoing Cavalier) Vectra.

Result: People laught, Vectra owners live misserable lives, Vauxhall still can't figure out why no-one except driving schools like their cars.....

Answer: Sack the board, and replace them with the Lotus staff made redundant this week, since the only worthwhile things with Vauxhall bagdges always have something to do with Lotus.
