Perhaps, but my 2023 Elantra has three levels of heating and cooling on both the driver and passenger side. Can't pick back vs bottom, but it's still really nice.

Mine has that but doesn't let me have heating and fan on at the same time and I really want that.

2004 Escalade can do it, too.

Maybe it's a mid-2000's GM thing.

Eh...

Going from my experience -- especially with that Escalade -- the interior really is shit, especially for a "luxury" model. A lot of the interior has not aged well and is falling apart ... and wasn't really that nice to begin with. But the actual vehicle is pretty solid. Engine and the rest of the drivetrain are going strong, despite having tons of miles and tons of abuse (I mostly use it for towing/hauling -- often at or above its maximum rated weight -- and dragging things around a horse pasture). Since I only use it for jobs a minivan can't accomplish, I pretty much only use it for very heavy hauling and nasty off-road driving. And as a work truck, it has been very sturdy and reliable. Had a radiator leak when I first got it, and because of several half-assed repairs to that, it went through quite a few episodes of overheating. Finally got that fully sorted though, and despite the abuse, it has still been very dependable, a workhorse with the best of 'em.

Maybe that's just the LS-based engine and truck-based drivetrain, though. I can't speak much to other GM models from the era, since I haven't owned any.

So you're taking a shower to warm your back and to rinse off your cooked ass, huh?

What? My cars have had seat warmers for two decades and none of them have done that.

None that I've been in, from my 2013 Leaf to my 2023 Kia Niro. Come to think of it the Leaf was seat-only.

OK but get this. There are new cars that are coming with AC seats, you can also control the back separate from the seat

FRED: Hello, what's this?
BOB: Oh, that? That's the butt baker button.
FRED: The ... butt baker button?
BOB: The butt baker button!
FRED: What's the butt baker button?
BOB: Oh, the butt baker button bakes your butt!

TOGETHER:
Oh, the butt baker button bakes your butt,
Yes, the butt baker button bakes your butt!
If your butt's cold and unbakéd
You don't have to get it naked
The butt baker button bakes your butt!

Some luxury models have this, including massage settings. To be honest I dont miss it. But seat cooling would be nice in hot summers.

The only weird thing is making weird comments about it like that

I just think "cook your ass" was funny and unrelatable from my past experiences. I've never had heated seats, so it's like, what? My main experience with car seats is trying to avoid swamp ass on long trips.
