Despite the rear cup-holder situation (to which I expressed my disappointment in Detroit), I'm still buying one. I plan to have an infant and then convertable car seat in the center position with the two older kids sitting outboard. This eliminates the usability of the center cup-holders which were totally usable in the Gen II design. There's just little opportunity to drop down the center arm rest w/ 3 in the back. I'll be looking for options for longer trips w/ the kids.
