Hey all,

I'm always looking for something fun to do to my gen 6, well today I was driving my gen 7; I looked down, and said, why not shove the gen 7 center console in the gen 6 car.... so I went to searching and I can't find a single article or forum post where someone has done this.

I'm tempted, anyone given it a try?

I have a 7th gen, your interiors are much nicer. My 93 Prizm interior was nicer.
That being said, everything else about the car makes up for the sea of plastic. You don't notice it when you're pulling lateral G's around hairpins.
I think you'll find the 7th gen cup holders as poorly placed, they may hold things better but they're right behind the shifter so you're boned if you want to shift with cups in the car unless you do an awkward reach up and over and dangle your arm down like a crane maneuver.
