No kidding, it was so cold down here in Newport I had to drive my other car because it has heated seats.

I guess they use such little fuel at idle it does not produce much heat, so no benefit from warming it up much unless the inside windows are frosted up.
I have observed the same thing with my 606. Pretty much have to drive it to get it warm when it's below freezing outside. Perhaps this is why they put the electric duct heater in the W211s (and W164s).

Ha! Quite the opposite down here at the moment. Wednesday will be 104+ farenheit (40+C) The 606 is warm in a couple of minutes. Electric fans overridden.
