Will iPhone 6 Plus fit in F10 cupholder?

So I'm trying to decide which size iPhone 6 to order.

I always keep my phone in the cupholder when in the car, but not sure if the 6 Plus will fit as it's pretty big.

Anybody look into this yet?

So I printed the graphic above of the iphone 6+, and then overlayed it onto last night's pizza box and cut it out. The pizza box cardboard gave it stiffness as paper just bent.

The pizza box iphone did fit into the cup holder, but it touched the sides enough that it stood straight up without having to rest on the climate controls; almost as if it were wedged in.

So this just confuses me more as the size is so close to fitting/not fitting as there may have been some variance in my cutting of the pizza box. In other words, if my pizza box model was even off by a millimeter or so that would make all the difference.

Guess I'll just wait until the first apple/F10 fanboi that gets the 6+ to report on if it fits or not.

I'll post it on launch day! I am getting both the i6 and i6+!

Also since my F10 has no combox, I have to use aux-in,

Just did the test yesterday and sadly, the iPhone 6 WILL NOT easily fit into the cupholder.

It goes in partway, about 1.5-2.5", but there is just way too much of the iPhone that I feel like it would tip over in a hard pull from a red light.

Oh it fits, just lay it sideways across the center of the two cupholders with the standard iPhone leather case it's fixed in place nicely. I get no movement driving in the DC area. Don't forget the iPhone 6+ has landscape view so it's perfect laid sideways. Nice since I use Waze app on a lot of my drives.
