Canadian Models - 2016 Signature Steering wheel stitching

[thugzy]

Calling Canuck Signature owners..... does your steering wheel have the red stitching detail? I see the red stitching in the online pictures. Perhaps only the US models get it?

US gets the stitching on the steering wheel
CAN gets the heated steering wheel


perhaps...

Just checked...black stitching on the wheel. Bronze/Brown stitching on the armrests, matching the seats.

Thanks Bibs, I think you validated my theory.... red/bronze steering wheel stiching not on CAN models

My signature has a brown thread, which matches the nappa seat leather. Definitely NOT black. Definitely NOT heated either.

First car with a heated wheel for us..but why is the wheel only heated at 10/2 and 4/8? I know your hands should be at those positions, but why not heat the whole wheel?

Cost savings to the manufacturer. My GLK350 is the same...
