The only place I have seen anything like this is the northern most parts of the U.S. its just not possible in most of the country.

Thats not an option where I am and what I do, the temp swings from -20'C to 15'C in the winter. At -20'C a 100% grill block can still not be enough. But then when I put a trailer behind my suburban I will need most of my radiator surface at 15'C to stay with in operating temp.
Plus I would get up to temperature a lot faster if I could have a 100% grill block on warmer days. Better aero + faster warm ups = more fuel milage.
