Hmm - I've seen metallic travel mugs (the adult yuppie's sippie cup?) that are the same proportions as regular ceramic coffee mugs. Perhaps these are the mugs the manufacturers had in mind? > (And yes, the cupholder is for long trips on relatively flat, straight > Interstate highways and around-town driving. They're really useful for bottled water for shortish trips, as well. I don't have a cupholder and wind up either keeping the bottle between my knees (not very comfortable), laying it on the passenger seat (where it becomes a large projectile), or tossing it on the floor (where it gets fuzzies and dirt all over it). None of these options is very satisfactory. Of course, I realize most Europeans can't understand the American fascination with bottled water, but that's a whole nuther post. Leigh
