No automobile can avoid getting hot enough to fry an egg on its hood in Orlando Summer sun. All a fan does is move that 100+ degree air around inside the Malibu. So, park that Malibu in the Summer Orlando sun for half an hour, starting with it being 75 degrees inside. Take a house fan and extension cord with you. Do you seriously think it's not going to rise to 150 degrees inside that car within half an hour?
