I'm liking that there's no bright shiny Silver on the steering wheel but I'm liking the hefty looking steering wheel more. This should feel a lot sportier than our TLs wheel.

The ergonomics and overall aesthetics look much nicer than the current 8th gen wheels. The current wheel has tiny buttons with similar shapes that are awkward to use. Something that bothered me about my coupe's 3 spoke wheel was the ridiculous mesh in the bottom spoke. What was that supposed to be? People would ask me if it was the microphone for the NAVI. It just looked out of place and like some superfluous detail you would find in a Pontiac.

This new wheel looks like it will be much more tactile to operate. And the heft on it looks great. Hopefully it will be connected to the excellent variable ratio steering the current model is.
