cup holder cover?

Recommended Posts

I've only seen photos of prototypes with the cover. They obviously removed it for the production Fusion. It may end up going on the production Mondeo though, since that car is designed to be a bit more upscale to account for Lincolns not being sold in Europe.

The MKZ has a two-piece cup holder cover. You press a little chrome button on top and it retracts down into the console exposing (gasp!) two little cup holders. It is TOTALLY USELESS! Having the cover forced Lincoln to reduce the size of the cup holders to barely hold a regular sized soda can! The only time I close it is to wipe it down when I detail the interior. Otherwise, it is open for easy access to the semi-useless cup holders.

I guess that these must be Pre-production pictures then. Bummer. I like the look, but like SteveB_TX says, probably not very practical.

This interior is very close to the same as the Ford Mondeo Vignale concept, which has the same cup holder cover:

This site also has good photos of this vehicle (not drawings) and gives us more details of what a Fusion Wagon will look like.

Another interesting fact is that Ford sold over 7,000 Mondeos (the international Fusion) in China last month.

That was a pre-production photo, I noticed no grade assist on the shift knob.

I like this little cover on the mkz. Also the fact the MKZ has a juice holder too.

 

Mine does stay open tho as my phone rides around in there.
