I parked next to an MCS with the new 3-spoke at the Mall the other day and got a close look at it. As far as looks go, I prefer the 2-spoke. The 3spoke looks "fat" in my opinion. 
I briefly fondled a 3-spoke wheel at the Detroit Auto Show. I like the shape, but I do not like that the horn button is in the center - I've grown to like the "thumbs reach away" horn buttons of my 2-spoke!
I know NAM member "zfxr" has a 3-spoke on his new MCS. Here it is pre-delivery:
Cheers,
Ryan

ryan- Delivery in 74.5 hours :smile: I'm excited, last bit of paperwork get's faxed
to the dealer today and it's on!
One thing I did notice are the buttons, they
feel a bit strange (all on one axis, the axis moves, like an i-pod controller).
I was expecting Play-Station ish individual buttons. The look, I'm mixed on,
but I prefer the feel of a 3-spoke. Really boils down to a personal preference,
since the cost is the same.
