New Style Steering Wheel
Okay...I have to admit even though our w208 is a great car the steering wheel sucks. After 50,000 miles the leather is already fading. So, after doing some research I came across this steering wheel and I wanted your guys opinion on this type of steering wheel.

Better looking that the w209 CLK Black Series. If it came in gray I would consider purchasing one, although the price tag is a little steep.
