For a long time Toyota had some of THE best steering wheels on the market, IMHO, the simple classic "T" shaped designs. The TRD wheel for example. Now all they have to do to stay ahead of the competition is offer a thicker rim and provide the 'heated' option ala BWM & MB.
I think the LF-A will be the closest to a sporty classic functional wheel once again from Toyota, but look what car it's on!?

Aright Aright, so enough talking and REALIZING that our steering wheel is too small. What company is going to step up and make something happen??? 
I am here at your disposal. Let me know if anyone want's to start a Design on my wheel and I'll make it happen. Just by interest alone in this thread there are probably 5 people who are already in as well.

I find the steering wheel perfect for me.
But I'm just used to the Lexus desgin..
Since 2000... I drove a 2001 IS300 for 7 years
Then 2007 ... I drove a 2008 IS350 for 1.5 years
and
now the 2008 IS-F

for some reason, when i tested both the m3 and the is f, i found it more form fitting for my entire palm to wrap around a smaller rim steering wheel. the m3's was just way too big, probably requiring more hand power to turn the steering wheel itself. my mom's 3 series is beyond cumbersome to simply turn, where as the is f's wheel is simple, light, and easy to maneuver with. but this is just my opinion. some may prefer bigger steering wheels or even a different look. i'll admit the lexus wheel is kinda plain, but it does the job very well, and in the end that to me is much more important than what it looks like.
Nice chop.
