If my car's accurate, my favorite driving cabin temperature is close to 80 degrees.
You do understand that there is no actual mercury thermometer or metal coil that expands/contracts and shuts off the AC/Heat in cars with dual "climate control", don't you?

The numbers on the little screen don't mean a thing. They're just a digital visual reference as to what kinda of air is coming at you... rather than a blue line that turns into a red line.

If you set the temp to 60* and crank the fan... you can cool the cab below 60*. Same with the heat. You can bake yourself at 85*.

If the numbers meant SH*T, then you would be able to park your Black Camaro in the hot Arizona sun, set your "thermostat" to 85*, and the temp in the cab wouldn't go much higher than 85*............. it means that the AC would turn on automatically if the temperature went above 85*, or that the heat would turn on if it dropped below 85*.

The PRO of having dual climate control is that I can crank the AC on full blast, and my old lady can adjust it to a warmer temp for herself so she doesn't freeze sitting in the passenger seat.

I think it should have been a standard feature for the 2LT/2SS. Do I really care? No. I'm going to crank the AC as high as I want in my car. Do I care that I can't cram my 6' tall body in the back seat? No. I'm not going in the back seat.

But I am very pleased to see the heated leather seats. Anyone who lives in an area that has very cold winters can really appreciate this.
