Interior storage less on 2016?

Interior storage less on 2016?
I just noticed that on my 2016, there is NOT a storage compartment behind the center console. The owners manual shows a small vertical compartment that looks like it's between the driver and passenger seat.
Has anyone else noticed this stealth change? There is so little storage space in the cabin that anything extra would welcomed, but taking away storage space? Boo....

My 2015 V6S Coupe has it, if I understand correctly what you're referring to. I have a small compartment just behind the cup holders and a small area up around shoulder height between driver and passenger side (which is what I think you're talking about). I agree, every little bit helps (although that's not what the car's about, but that's besides the point here).

Above the blank panel is an open hole that you can put things in.
Going to actually read my manual now.

There is a panel there that comes out quite easily (pull from the top). Inside is a big cavity with a bit of room so there could have been one. Right now there are a bunch of wires and a module that has Bluetooth and FoMoCo on it.

Not a big deal, just curious about it.

I believe this is called the 'lockable stowage compartment'. Amusingly, on some early cars (including mine), when you locked the car, the compartment door would fall open. (They had a simple fix for it.) It isn't very big, but on the convertible, you need everything you can get. I can squeeze a baseball cap in it, and I keep my tire pressure and tread depth gauges in it - lockable is good on a convertible.

Sorry to perform some thread necromancy! But since the coupe is missing that storage compartment and it's a super easy panel to pop off, I wonder if the panel from the convertible would fit? I've looked for pics online, and, best I can tell because the pics aren't great, the panels appear to have the same overall shape.
Even just having the one with the elastic strap, like Foosh posted, would be a huge improvement on my coupe. I hate having nowhere convenient to put my phone or wallet or whatever else.
Anyone know if the panels can be swapped? Or in a position to compare the panels between the coupe and 'vert?

Exactly! I'd love to have that, at the least, in my coupe. The storage compartment would be super cool though.
