Climate controlled seats are an option on some Lincolns (such as LS and Navagator, maybe others). I think it may be available now on some Ford products as well. The seat material is perferated to allow air flow and both front seats have little heat pumps in them that can either heat or cool.

My 03 Escape Limited came with heated seats. It is not often that it is needed or desirable to use, but when it's cold enough they are really nice. The seat gets warm long before the heater becomes effective and takes the chill out of cold weather driving very quickly.
