Just looks like more cushion/passing at the button areas.

Very stupid in my opinion. There is no difference between this steering wheel and the stock one that I can see except the perforated leather around the top spokes. Funny thing is I downloaded the screensaver from acura.com and there is a close up shot of this steering wheel and I never thought twice about it, but looking back it definitely is the A-Spec and not the stock steering wheel.

In my opinion, if Acura is going to charge a ridiculous amount of money for this "upgrade" they should have made it a slightly smaller diameter, thick rimmed 3-spoke steering wheel.

FWIW, this is the best pic I could find of the stock steering wheel for comparison purposes....

The "A-Spec" steering wheel is smaller than the steering wheel in the picture of the dash. Compare by looking at or measuring the Acura symbol in relation to the entire wheel.

I see no difference whatsoever. I think the appearance that the Acura symbol is bigger on one is an optical illusion. All the design elements are the same, the control placement, the bulges above each top spoke, the V shaped bulge that runs the length of the airbag cover, etc.

My God people, who proved that fact that, that is infact the A-Spec Steering wheel?

It was a upgrade steering wheel from Acura Canada's website..
