AMG Steering Wheels
Why is it that AMG only uses black steering wheels in their SL's. I looked at a SL65 with lovely ash interior and there is this ugly, black steering wheel ruining the whole interior look. Mercedes uses a beautiful leather and wood wheel, color matched to the interior. Interestingly, on my S55AMG with ash interior, the wheel is leather and matched in color to the interior.

It is a design trademark of the SL55 since the R230 body style.
