Who's the engineer that decided to put the power outlet at the feet of the passenger?

Just bought a 2009 Base model, think they did a great job on most parts of interior (except the 3 dials on dash, which i find pretty useless unless you

But who the hell thought it would be smart to put the power outlet at practically the floor of the passenger side? i dont have one in the center console, so when im charging my iphone and need to answer it, it doesnt reach! i dont think any charger would reach that far!?

There is a charger in the center console, if you lift that little black tray.

Agreed. It's in the same place in my wife's SUV as well. Right where a knee belongs.

Oh you must mean the little black tray that no one can use because the power socket is underneath it.
