New R-Line --- and Question re Center Console

I'm about one week into owning my black SEL R-Line and I love it. Terrific SUV. I unloaded a 2011 Acura MDX to get the Atlas. The extra interior room is welcomed (two kids and a 50 pound dog) and the V6 has plenty of juice. As for the R-Line, I got hooked on it solely in terms of looks (b/c let's be honest, that's all it seems to be about).

My only complaint/concern about the car so far is that the center console is just one big dumping ground. It would have been nice for VW to include some kind of organization system, especially for a manufacturer that typically keeps those features in mind.

Has anyone found a good solution for this yet? I've seen a few plastic ones up on eBay and Amazon, but most don't seem to fit the 2018 model. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new R-Line! I have read about some of the organizers that you mention. Seems like most require a slight modification to work with the Atlas center console. I'll just wait to see if VW comes out with an accessory solution.

Thanks for getting back, Shiner. I'm not holding my breath on VW coming out with one! But we'll see. In the meantime, for $15-20 I may try one of the ones on eBay or Amazon.
I was thinking more of a trip to Ikea to see if anything they have is small enough to fit the Atlas' center console, but do let us know if you find anything interesting online.
I did just pick up one of these:

It fits perfectly into the space above the dash. Quality is ok. Only complaint so far is that the change makes a lot of noise jingling around while driving. Other than that, so far so good.

Still searching for something for the center console.
