John,
The console of my dreams is/has:

�     Low enough for my seats to swivel
�     Two cup holders large enough for a water bottle.  (Maybe four holders)
�     CD Changer
�     8" Woofer and amp.  Woof will face down for it's own protection
�     Places for misc. stuff such as my cell phone and other junk I think I
need
�     A couple of lighter jacks
�     Durable enough for the inevitable kicking and stepping on.  MDF?
�     In my van, this won't extend forward enough to surround the shifter

This is a project I just haven't gotten around to yet but this is how in
envision it.
