That looks like a BMW cupholder Yes but not all of them seem sturdy but Europeans seem to love them (Saab, BMW, VW/Audi etc). Toyota used to have pop-out cupholders (Our Corollas had them) but they basically blocked the centre console box when used.
Hey Gary, Nice 6 week vent. You hit the nail on the head on many of the pros and cons of a new prius owner, something I went through just a couple months ago. I'll add one gripe: The huge lip on the front bumper gets dinged up REAL fast. I can only admire my prius from afar now... :-(
