Great, more unnecessary weight and price added to the car. I wonder what % of owners will be driving this in the winter? Why not make it an option?
I will be enjoying it when driving with my top down in the fall and early spring. A heating element in the wheel will add basically nothing. But, it is one more thing to fail that's for sure.
Well, I drive mine in the Winter, of course since I live in north central Florida, we get only three seasons here - and WInter is left out. Heated steering wheel is perfect for Florida and the southwest - can't imagine how we lived without them in the past!

Why the eye roll? People are always bitching that the car isn't nice enough or "Porsche enough"... then they add a new feature and people complain?
You got to be kidding me....................just what we are looking for in a "Sports Car" don't forget to put your driving gloves on so the hands don't get too hot!

Because of the following:
1. I am not one of those "people" you generically reference
2. None of my cars have a heated steering wheel now, including my Audi SQ5 and wife's Mercedes GLC 300
3. At least make it an OPTION since many people live in areas of the country where a heated steering wheel is as useless as **** on a bull.
If it is an optional item only (which the article did not say) then fine. Otherwise,
i saw the heated steering wheel button on one of the spy shots of the machine. i was overjoyed. I always thought heated grips on the bike were for pussies, then i got heated grips! man o manachevitz - what was I thinking ! They are awesome.
one day the wife comes home with a new jeep - complete with the utmost in stupidity - a heated steering wheel. Well let me tell you my corvette brothers - that is THE ****! the most awesome option of options. I was sad when I bought the c7 and it did not have this bit of magic.
now if the bastards would only put back the third pedal!
we have a heated wheel on our cayenne gts, and even down in SC we turn it on for those few cold mornings/nights...I doubt the extra 3lb (at that) will have such a critical adverse effect and one's track time...I mean wax time...I mean...on/off ramp racing

I have a feeling they will. They leaked that centre console showing no room for a manual shifter on purpose. This way everyone will be overjoyed when they announce the 7 sp manual.

Now heated grips on a Bike make 100% good sense to me. A jeep, depending upon configuration, possibly. Otherwise, make it an option or swap it out for the third pedal.
I love my heated steering wheel in my Buick GS. Had it for almost 5 years and no problems, can't see it adding a whole lot of weight.
I will be happy with this in my C8, along with other creature comforts that have been added over the years. Power seats, a/c, and an infotainment system, power window, cruise control, power steering. WiFi, apple car play....
seems like the car is going to be a GT vehicle, oh darn, another old man "sports" car from GM.
I couldn't care any less about a heated steering wheel. That's just another possible electric gremlin to deal with in the future in my eyes. Just like the modern infotainment systems...too many do-dads that I don't want or need.
