I love my 1993 Q45, no cup holders, who cars I don't drink or eat or smoke in my car and I shoot who ever else does that in my car.
Q's aren't meant to be eaten in there meant to be driven.
I tried to find a picture of it and not much turned up.Here's the best one I could find (it's the black piece below the ugly alpine HU).

It's almost as deep as the face, gets shallower toward the back. It's lined with felt on the bottom to keep coin noise to a minimum. The "cupholder" section is a sliding cover to the tray with two circular cutouts. But they're odd sized (I've NEVER had a cup that fit them, one's way too small, the other too large) and it's too shallow to support anything anyway.
As for the second comment, anyone who does much long-distance driving will appreciate the value of a cupholder. Plastic recloseable bottles are a substitute for cupholders but the lowest of the low on the "drink taste quality" scale. I prefer to have a CAN or glass bottle of coke with me on long drives since they are vastly superior to plastic bottles. Cupholders make sure the beverage stays in the can or my belly and not the upholstery.
The '94-'96 Q cupholders are perfect for cans. You can latch the arm rest over the can, avoiding spills outside the cupholder recess and keeping the can out of the way.
