A cup holder that can prevent malfunction and generation of abnormal noise due to adhesion of liquid or other foreign matter is provided. The cup holder (1) includes a holder main body (2) for accommodating a container therein, and arms (3) each including an upper arm piece (10), a lower arm piece (11), and a hinge joint (12) connecting a lower end of the upper arm piece (10) to an upper end of the lower arm piece (11). The arm is an integrally molded product made of a resin material, and the hinge joint (12) is a thin-walled hinge formed by a thin-walled portion thereof.

A vehicle cargo management system is installed in the rear seating area of a utility vehicle after removal of the seats. The utility vehicle includes a floor pan defining a planer rear storage surface and left and right foot wells separated by a longitudinally extending drive shaft hump. The foot wells define inwardly tapered inner rear wheel wells. The wells each have a characteristic depth below the rear storage surface, a lateral width and a longitudinal length. The cargo management system includes left, right and center container portions, each having a base member including integrally formed floor and circumferentially arranged wall members nested within a foot well. The container portions each have a base member including integrally formed floor and wall members configured to be nested within a respective foot well. The closure members are each affixed to an inner wall member of said container portion by an elongated hinge.
