OK, I guess if your wife will daily drive it is women's clothing. 
I've not been following the steering wheels issue. Finger-less or fingertip-less driving gloves work for me to avoid hand fatigue and I don't have to hang onto the steering wheel as tightly. Very sporty as well. Perhaps you can match them to the exterior color?

Whenever its cool enough I wear English gentlemen's sporting webbed driving gloves in the MG and they work very well when I'm driving the crap out of it as well. Actually they came up in my discussion with the fabricator, so I'd already thought of using them if it comes to that.

Buy one of those PVC pipe repair kits. You wrap it around the steering wheel, wet it and wait for it to dry. You could squeeze it with your hand before it dried to make it fit your hand any shape you wanted.
Of course it would be butt ugly. Maybe you could paint it to help its looks.

Any car where the deciding consideration is color and how the wheels look is like buying woman's clothing. The Honda CR-V is certainly gay though. As are all so-called crossdressers crossovers. They ain't SUVs. They're station wagons (estates for our UK friends).
Find a car you can drive. Color and wheels are unimportant.

I've no idea why you think a Honda CR-V is women's clothing but that's your issue, not mine. In fact your comment made me think of a review written in the Detroit News by an auto critic who also races weekends. "Honda’s remarkably taut chassis is based on the same platform as the Audi A3-baselined Civic play-toy that has motorheads drooling. How serious is Honda about SUV handling? CR-V project leader Nagadome’s first job at Honda was body engineering for the NSX supercar. It shows. Throw the Honda into a 90-degree right-hander and it bites. Even the CR-V’s safety system freaked at the speeds I was taking corners: the auto-brake assist flashed “BRAKE” in the instrument panel as I hurtled into one ess turn." I guess no one told him he was driving women's clothing!

Dave, sorry my ugly idea was backwards. Next stupid suggestion would be for you to take steroids so your hands will grow. OK shutting up now......
ps remember in the old days (like your MG) when you took one nut off the center of the steering wheel and replaced the wheel with a fancy looking, racy one?

I don't let comments like that bother me. It's like macho comments that a Miata is a hair dresser's car or whatever. Put one of those commenters in a Miata passenger's seat at the race track with a good driver and Mr Macho would be spilling his cookies before the end of the first lap.

Dave, are you looking at strictly new, or is CPO an option?
