Hi, I have a volvo 960 stationwagon (1996) and wondered if you had any idea if a cup exists which actually fits into my cup holder. Every type I find is usually too tall and ends up spilling…yet another incident today!! If anyone knows something that fits, let me know.

I had the same problem in my Jeep Grand Cherokee. I don’t think cup holders get the same engineering attention as say the airbags or the fuel injection system. I think the car manufacturers buy cup holder designs from third-graders on the playground after school.
