They’re designed for small race cars with fast steering ratios that never have to make small, tight turns like a U-turn or a parking maneuver. If you almost never need to turn the wheel more than 90 degrees, you don’t need the top and bottom of the wheel. That’s not the case on a daily driven street car.

Even the professional race car driver who reviewed the car insisted that the Yoke be switched back to a normal wheel so he could actually drive it properly on track.

This feels like the industrial design team fell in love with the looks and marketing aspects of the yoke wheel and ignored the total lack of practicality.
