While it may be 100F degs outside, if parked under the hot sun a
closed interior could heat up to 140F or more.  Letting that hot
air out is better than making it cook inside.  There is hot, and then
there is OUCH! HOT!. :)

Leaving the sunroof and windows cracked open is good, having an
actively driven ventilation is even better.  Audi has a solar panel
sunroof option on the higher models that power the ventilation blowers
to keep the air circulating.
