LOL, I'm not sure but probably because it's "solid" wood and it would be hard to embed a heater inside.

This is where lexus cheapout on. Everything about the GS is quality even the feel of the steering wheel except for the heated function. This is where my co-worker who just bought a Kia K900, brag about how his wheel is FULLY heated.

Nope as the f-sport only has the same heated areas and it's full leather.

My wheels leather and I guess its a minor thing but most of the top of the wheel where its not perforated isnt heated ...it just seems like a dumb move.

So far this is the top thing I don't like about my 4GS. On the other hand, it's a damn good car if that's the worst thing about it!
