<The ones at the link are the bulkhead mounted ones.  The tray we are
talking
of matches the slope and contour of the dashboard and attaches to the
ashtray lid.  It holds two cups and has a couple of pen trays and a coin
tray (of sorts)  Or as I like to think of it... as the picture over the
coin
vault which keeps digi-toddlers out of the meter & coffee (mad) money.
It
very handy, my digi-wife wants one in her van it I ever find another
one.ac

cup holders similar to these are available at FLAPS for around $4 or so.
