They are both trash cans and ashtrays they are just a drawer or box that can be filled. I do not see the functional difference in all those cars they weren’t used as ash trays because smoking in the car makes the car smell like guess what, cigarettes.
It’s just a left over from when people absolutely did smoke in their cars. And that 12 volt socket in the dashboard used to come preloaded with a cigarette lighter. Cars back in the 90s were fucking rank.
Here’s the thing, most do altough they’re small.
I’ve legit never seen one in a car unless you’re referring to the cup holders.
They are seperate from the cup holders usually in a drawer. I have seen this in a mazda mpv, opel signum, opel astra J, ford galaxy and so on.
That’s an ashtray.

I know I have burned my finger on a car cigarette lighter.
