You know what the whole problem is???? WE ARE SPOILED!!! When we were 16 years old getting our first car....who cared about A/C? Now we are older..I am 50... and I work in an air conditioned clinic. It is 68 to 70 degrees in here all day. Now I go outside and it is 92 degrees with 70% humidity and I expect my 23 year old Mercedes to cool me down to 68-70 degrees in the 11 miles I drive to get home. If I lived in a 3rd world nation and complained that my car is only blowing 50 degrees cold air on me, I think I'd be stoned.
Also, my other newer vehicles in our household will blow ice cubes. My daughter's 2000 Camry will blow 36 degrees all of the time. Our Honda Odyssey will blow 38 degrees. My 07 BMW 530i will blow 36 degrees. How do I know these things? Because I take my temp gauge from the vent in the Benz and like a fool I compare the temps in my other vehicles to my 23 year old converted Benz, expecting miracles from my car. Why don't I just drive the BMW every day?? I'm nuts!!! I just enjoy the big body Benz, and it's seats are more comfortable.
I guess reality will set in and by early June the Benz will take a 3 month rest in the garage and re-emerge when it cools off. I guess that's why it is 23 years old and only has 110,000 miles on it.

So in conclusion....we love our cars and we are all a little bit off
