It's happened to me before too but not in a CL.

To my knowledge this is normal when the interior of the car is very hot and the A/C blows cold.

It does look cool. I can see it when it is set to 67 F or below.

it's the same kind of thing as opening your freezer on a hot, humid day, and seeing the "cold air" billowing out. it's normal.

my A/C sucks, it would never be cold enough to see steam. speaking of which (whoring the thread, but question was answered ), what could be the problem with the ac? it cools off the car after awhile, but its not cold like it should be.

It's alright if you can only see it, but if you can smell or taste it, your heater core is probably leaking. Thats vaporized anti-freeze. Don't breathe that shit!
