That thing is hideous!! They arguably had one of the nicest steering wheels in any car under 100K and they trashed it. Why mess with a good thing? The wheel they have been using on the S4, A4, TT, ect was one of the best wheels I have ever had in a car inclusing the two Porsches I have owned. Makes me wonder is Chris Bangle is doing some consulting work for VAG.

so, like, when you're driving around town you can look down at your steering wheel and think, "Oh, that's what the front of my car looks like."

Just one more thing that looked good in the Nuvolari but got lost in the translation to production.
