Nice to see others like the wood on the steering wheel too. Sme many seem to dislike it for some reason.

Love my wood steering wheel...just had to have it!!! That's what pushed me to buy the Lux instead of the F-Sport.

Pretty cool.

Yes this is an LS steering wheel, but the process is the same for all Lexus wood/leather wheels. They're all made by hand.

This might be more relevant to the 4GS.

Watching these, the care and attention to detail put into something as small as the steering wheel is astonishing and impressive. Bravo Lexus!

Providing the best performance with focus on the driver is the Lexus engineers' top priority.

Attention to details such as changing the steering column angle from 23 to 21 degrees enabled engineers to improve the driver's seating position for increased comfort, better forward visibility and overall command of the road.
