Not all 2013 Vipers will have cupholders! Looks like your still stuck with the nannies though!

'Ralph Gilles ‏@RalphGilles“@McFetty11:will cup holders be a GTS feature or will they be standard on all Vipers? #MoparChat” will be available thru Mopar as an insert.'

We're not going to get heated/cooled cupholders?!

Forget that, but I'm bummed we're not going to get ventilated seats. That'd be of great use in Vegas.

Amazing. The single most important thing that could save lives and the government doesn't mandate it. Do you have any idea how many children die every year because drivers don't have a cupholder for their cafe latte? If it saves just one life it's worth it. Mandatory cupholders for 2014!!! Who's with me!!! For the children!!!

How many are going for the rear backup camera? That is unbelievable.

In 2015 all cars will be required to have that annoying reverse warning beep, beep, beep that's on every other four-wheel vehicle. They even put that stupid crap on golf carts. Can you believe it? Put a golf cart in reverse and you gotta listen to beep, beep, beep. It is very difficult to take any mandate seriously when they're putting a reverse beeper on a golf cart.

ADA = Automated Driver Assistance which coincidentally is the same as Americans Disability Act.
