    Also recommended...this made a HUGE difference to the interior of my car, feels so much more solid and comfortable to my arm at the same time--and the sliding feature is very useful.

    Man, I want one of these. But $300 is a little more than I want to spend on an armrest. Adding it to my Christmas list...lol.

    I know it seems pricey but it really makes a big difference! The standard console lid looks and feels like something that would come in an Aveo. This was one of the first mods I made on my car...

    My wife's Saab has this feature. I do NOT like it. It is always moving forward or backward. Does the G8 one stay put or move around?? It looks like it is also covering the cup holders that get a fair amount of use in my car.

    Thanks.

    No, they don't. And the G8, even with the premium package, has a console lid that is cheap plastic, not leather. Run a fingernail across it if you don't believe me. IMHO, it stands out like a sore thumb.

    It locks into place forward or back. It does cover up the cup holders in the forward position. I really don't care about the sliding part, probably because I'm fairly tall and it isn't in the right spot for my elbow when it's slid forward anyway.

    Does this new lid get rid of any feature that the old lid had? I could swear when I first saw it I remember it did, but it might be that card/pen holder combo which isn't a big deal anyways...

    I am 6'4" my seat is all the way back and the arm rest is in a perfect position for me. Good thing too, I don't think I could part ways with 300 bucks for an arm rest.
