They do weird stuff in California...
Very concerned with excess heat and its consequences...
Have you heard about the fires that spread thru California a while ago...??

Most modern climate control systems work by running the air con regardless, and heating the car as well if it gets too cold - so how exactly do they work any harder on black cars?

Nice idea they've pulled out of their @rse there... ;D

how about they concentrate on getting better bhp out of their lumps, reducing the need for bigger cc capacity.

PMSL.  Cop cars in America, are they not black and white.  Will they get revamped or are they an exception to the rule.

as a car heats up quicker due to the sun coming through the glass perhaps windowless cars will be next ;D ;D

I don't condone what they are wanting, but Mythbusters tested this theory, and yes a black car parked in the sun does get much hotter than a white car.

Personally prefer darker colour cars, wonder how the old metalflake paints would deal with reflecting the sun ?
