Replying to: fintail (Nov 21, 2008 2:12 pm) If I'd be the owner the first thing I'd do is swap it for a Momo wheel or something. This is not the first time that an exotic shared parts with a lowline car. Check this out: Lotus Esprit vs Saturn SC1 coupe.

Replying to: boomchek (Nov 21, 2008 3:47 pm) I always thought it was amusing that early MB R129 have the same steering wheel as later W126 cars, but those ones you post are just insane. I honestly had no idea about that Aston or the Lotus.

Replying to: fintail (Nov 21, 2008 6:54 pm) I think the big reason the steering wheels were shared was for the airbags, as initially they were big and bulky, and you wouldn't be able to fit one in a smaller sports type steering wheel. The Aston/Taurus steering is probably the most extreme and ugliest example of parts sharing.
