That doesn't make sense.  If anything, the center vents should be cooler.
The center vents is much closer to the blower fan and evaporator.  The
cooled air would have to travel a much longer distance to reach the
side vents, which would allow the air to warm up somewhat.

The center and side vents both get cooled air.  This is different than
the heat setup on these cars... only the side vents get *heated* air.
