And anyone else that wants to use real metal in car interiors, especially where you are supposed to connect with it...what if I stuck my tongue to this?

would it look like this?

Woke up to 8 degrees below this am and man that metal was brutal. Screw you

I had the same problem with Apple laptops when I lived in VT. It took like 30 minutes after I got my laptop out of the car until it stopped feeling like I was resting my palms on a block of ice.

I think you might be doing it wrong.

Still better than plastic trying to look like metal...

Clearly you're supposed to have the butler go warm up the car for you.

Try leaving a trumpet in your trunk all day at -15F. Warming it up to play was miserable!

lol done it with a French Horn more times than I can remember. Probably more DNA in the mouthpiece now than in my body

Former euphonium player here. I think a part of my lip is still permanently attached to that mouthpiece...

What year? I know prior to '05, those handles were plastic. Unless it's retrofitted, of course.

Aluminum it is. Carry on. I remember wishing the one in my '01 was metal, until winter hit...glad it was plastic at that point!

lol the steering wheel spokes on my girls Beetle Turbo S are aluminum too and those piss me off the most!

Sorry, but screw plastic in car interiors, especially if you are buying a "premium" brand/model.

I agree with you, but limit the metal trim to be not stuff you are actually supposed to touch

Volvo replies: For those willing to stick their tongues to interior panels but unfortunate to live in colder climate we recommend opting for a block heater. It's available for every type of Volvo we sell.
