There is no lock on the glove box of my 2019 Avalon Hybrid Limited. It seems like an incredible cheapskate omission by Toyota. It did not occur to me to check this when I test drove the car. I wasn't test driving a Yugo, after all. No change drawer or sunglasses holder, either. Maybe "Limited" meant limited features.

This is a chance for after market third party entrepreneurs. There is also no proper holder for iPhones, iPads, and no cooler for ice cubes and sandwiches. I used to keep a nifty small refer in the back left seat floor plugged into the rear cigar lighter socket in a 1976 Jaguar XJ Long Body. It was a constantly used appliance, transporting doggie bags and late night treats, making long drives just that much more inviting, cooling without the drip drip of ice, always ready. Almost every car wastes space, some in the dash, some in the floor wells, some in the set backs, some between passengers. I expect most sedans don't try to carry more than four, so let's get creative.

I love the locking cubbies on my 1990 Jaguar XJ-S Collectors Edition. The locking glove box is an obvious choice. Using the area behind the front seats for a luggage rack which serves as a lockable top to a nice sized cabinet secures your $200 brandy and priceless family stems. Putting the motor for the convertible top below that box shows attention to detail, it only breaks every ten years, brushes by Lucas. Some vehicles use a hidden locking cubbie in the pull down divider between rear seats. Also, quite clever. Small lockable cubbies could be placed in foot wells, doors as part of sound insulation even. I find the cubbies in current cars, even luxury cars quite often strangely cheap and unforgiving when the sunglasses are too big, like those going over prescription lenses. In these matters there is nobody home at Toyota especially. Then again, how did they put two sunglass cubbies on a 2012 Tacoma PreRunner and zero on the their flagship 2019 Avalon Limited. Hey, try your car out before you make a second one. Then there is the Mazda which places a cupholder directly in front of key controls. See, it can get worse.

Car makers should take a hint from computer stores like Apple. There are shelves of wonderful third party devices, alternative crayon to go beyond the Apple Pencil. Why does Toyota leave us to Amazon to search for solutions?
