Geneva Motor Show: Renault’s Amazing Little Gadget Holder

renpress35.jpg

Slap another "Why didn't I think of that?" sticker on this one: Renault's amazing little holder for gadgets and loose ends in a car's interior. The Koosh-style dashboard tray allows for secure storage for iPods, cell phones, or anything else about the size of a pack of cigarettes. Renault calls it their "Grass Mat" dashboard trim.

This crafty use of interior space has us hoping we'll see something like this on our shores soon. At this point, the Twingo (and the entire line of Renault vehicles) isn't sold in America.

VW also has the umbrella holder in the door panel.

The umbrella holder can also be found in the VW Passat, and if I'm not mistaken, the Phaeton, as well. A nice idea.
