I always thought Porsche just didn't want people snacking in their cars - it's an image thing. It shows a lack of discipline and order. Germans like order.

Compare that to the typical American in his or her minivan. I've gone out to lunch with co-workers whose cars look like they live in them. The seats and floors are littered with food wrappers, cups, CD jewel cases and children's toys.

When I get into my Porsche, there's nothing to distract me from driving enjoyment. I think that is how Ferry Porsche wanted it to be.

The CD holder was intended to keep the interior tidy. The fact that technology has passed it by doesn't mean it was a bad idea.
