defoggin windows?

Is it just me or does it take a while for the windows to defog/frost? This never was a consideration for me when buying the car, I just assumed that the defog was good, (being that it is a luxury car for the most part)...but it took a good 10 minutes for the windows to clear up. Is it just my CL or am I doing someting wrong?

damn! this sportshift has a delay...

you are doing something wrong. Mine clear in seconds. I just push the defrost button on the automatic climate control and it does it all for me.

Make sure you don't have the recirculate button pushed in. The defog works best and fastest with fresh air.

Yep, if you are using recirc it takes much longer to defog the windows. If you turn off the recirc it defrosts in seconds.
