    A true luxury car has them as an option - same as ashtrays. And has for a
    very long time.

    I wonder how long it is before we see the back of the dreadful 12v socket
    and a better designed one?

    There is a need for a 12V socket but the cigarette one and the one common
    in Europe really are terrible.

    I fitted what is called a motorbike 12v outlet. Sort of similar to a fag lighter socket but smaller. Needs a lot of force to fit/remove the plug.
