Thoughts on that big 80's MB steering wheel

On a business trip last week I rented some kind of new Pontiac, and it had a TINY steering wheel. Plus the steering ratio was so low that it made the car real twitchy. If I so much as sneezed I was changing lanes.

After I was home and got back in the MB it struck me how much I like the big steering wheel and steering box ratio. I think it makes for much better directional stability on the highway. Although I think the caster setting has something to do with that also.

Anyway, does anybody else love the big steering wheel?
