I know we have different fondness levels for Ralleyes, Scout II’s, 800’s and the list goes on. While we certainly can’t go back to original steering wheel looks nor chrome spokes and custom walnut rings. I do think there is an opportunity with proper design to maybe expand on the three spoke styles of the later Scout models.
Maybe???-we don’t need 20 buttons for every function on the wheel and maybe some are dedicated to voice control or on the touch screen to simplify the wheel. Needless to say I’d like to challenge the design team to creat a modern wheel that harkens back to original Scout wheels. The steering wheel is the heaviest used touch point of the entire vehicle so it should feel great (I’m all for leather wrapped and heated BTW) perform well for road and off road uses and still feel special.
Good luck design team
