All the geegaws on a modern engine make it less important.

Hahaha.
Have you seen what engine oil looks like past -35C?
Butter. Same color, same consistency. You can cut and spread it with a knife. Those geegaws aren't helping there.
Also, there is a hell of a lot more in a vehicle that's sensitive to extreme cold than an engine.

Hohoho?
I said less for a reason. Most people don't have to worry about -35C. Cars start reliably down to fairly low temperatures, so they don't need to worry about it.

We're replying in a thread about someone trying to use a vehicle at -40C...
>Cars start reliably down to fairly low temperatures
Start? As the parent comment states, that's the least of your problems.

I replied to a comment that mentioned <32 Fahrenheit.

Sure, it may be less important, but I'd hate for someone to think that means it's majorly less important (in other terms, unimportant).. letting a car warm up in cold weather is good for it, regardless of innovations.

Most of the time it just wastes gas. Well, beyond making the cabin comfortable it just wastes gas.
