Different options. Some cars have extended wood trim, which would include steering wheel. (haha, I said extended wood :P)
but back to business

While we are on the topic of wood, how many available trims were there? I am much more familiar with BMWs, and there are so many options for wood its crazy. But my 96 ES has a light maple pattern, I've seen 2001 with a darker maple?, and some 2002+ that have a reddish wood to them. Just curious.

*being the steering wheel & radio trim!

Run your VIN by the dealer to get the as-built configuration - mine is birds eye maple (the light amber color, which I think looks better with the black interior) there is also a darker, burl wood.
