Europeans make fun of our Super Big Gulps. The Germans were reluctant to put cup holders in our vans. Even when they did, they would only hold cans or small bottles. The EuroVans come with a floor console that has tiny cup holders. Only the US models had this console. The Germans are changing if not slowly. I didn't see any Big Gulps on my last visit, but they now sell the same larger cup holders we have.
