With forecast lows this week as low as 8 degrees as far south as Birmingham, AL... I'm beginning to be glad I don't live any further north!!

I know it's technically a large sedan, but, this car is sweeet!! Great job Ford! Interior is identical to the MKS, but, who cares! Exterior styling is great too. I give it an A.

Yeah...we are projected to be -3 on Wednesday without the wind. It will feel like -20 with the wind chill. I'm gonna burn all my gas just trying to warm up my car in the morning!! Not looking forward to it...

Wimps! Forecast low for the Twin Cities Wed/Thurs without the wind chill is -20 F.
 
P.S. A car warms up faster while driving. There was an invention within the recent past (speaking of technology like keyless start) that helps drivers who need to drive a cold car on days like this. It's called Coat, Hat, Gloves. Works very well!

I can take it. I just don't like it!! If my wife was not big into snow sports (skiing/snow boarding) and all my family were not up here, I would be looking to migrate my flock down south.

Unfortunately, it doesn't help with seeing through windows crusted with ice and snow both inside and out, not to mention someone's breath fogging everything up.

Oh yeah, I forgot to add "Ice Scraper" to the previous list. Also "Defroster." It helps too to learn how to breathe shallowly, through the nose, while the car is warming up on the really cold days. I find that within a mile or so, the defroster has no problem keeping the windshield clear w/o the shallow breathing trick (assuming you first clear snow/ice off the air intake), and the wires in the back window work pretty fast also.
 
The bun warmers help a lot also. Had some on a 3 Series but just said good-bye to that. Which leads to a (on-topic!!) question: which mid-sized sedans offer seat warmers, with cloth and with leather? I'd guess all of them with leather at least, but maybe some with cloth too (not as important though, IMO). Even some compacts now offer bun warmers with cloth and leather seating.

I think the Sonata does in some trims, doesn't it? I'm hoping the 2010 Fusion will.

Not likely. Ford typically only offers seat warmers with leather seats. Not sure why.
