TL Drink Cup Chiller- New Feature

Okay, things are warming up here in Phoenix and I have been using the AC more. One thing I've noticed is the metal accent next to my right leg gets pretty cool, so much so I can feel it freezing through my pants since my leg rests against it while driving. So I deduce this is because the air for the rear vents mounted on the console is probably traveling inside the console next to this trim cooling it down from the inside.

So then I had an idea for Acura. Instead of cooling the metal trim, why not pass the air in the console around the cup holder? It would make for cool drinks in the summer when you are running the AC and warm coffee in the winter when you're running the heat. What do you guys think???

Sorry for the triple post. Stinking website wouldn't respond and must have sent this 3 times.

Great idea! Perhaps we'll see it in the RL.

I think you should get an Atta-Boy for the Benny-Sug (Benneficial Suggestion), and a check!

It's already 85% complete--just an EO (Engineering Order), away!

Yeah, and the storage bin behind the cup holders could be used as an ice bucket!
