Default IS-F, I want more F

Does anyone else feel like the IS-F deserved a sportier steering wheel? something to really set apart the feel from the average luxury sedan.
I like the 2IS steering wheel but I felt like they could have given us something beefier to grab on to kind of like the CLK Black AMG

just my 2 cents.

Personally, I think that CLK steering wheel is the ugliest steering wheel I've ever seen.

I think that's a pretty cool steering wheel, minus those buttons. Agree with the OP.

The IS steering wheel is simple...just what it should be in this type of car. It serves a purpose, it's not an ornament.

The merc steering wheel is aweful only due to the 4 buttons. Everything else is acceptable. The interior overall is quite compact and small hence you get that sporty feel about it.

this AMG wheel with cut-off lower part, also similiar to RS4 steering wheel is not very comfortable when driving in town. U must get used to it, because when you turn wheel a lot, hand automaticly grab wheel in normal place, but as it is cut-off u just grab air..

of course, it looks more sportier, but IMO not worth
