Is this normal?
http://youtu.be/WiP2a0z5BgE
Hello guys, i just arrived to my destination after about 18 miles of driving.. parked and noticed this .. the temperature levels are perfectly fine.. I have owned several cars before this one and never once seen that coming from any of the cars even on a rainy cold day.
Any ideas would be great!
Thanks

Completely normal, I was freaked out when I noticed that happened after it rained in the spring. You get a lot of odd looks from your coworkers when you park next to them with steam pouring out of the front grill and just walk away while they wonder wtf is going on with your car.

I've had the exact same thing happen a handful of times in having the G for ~4 months now. Never seen it on another car though, but I just assume it was due to the coolant/radiator being different than what I've had before.

I have this same exact problem and I am not convince that it's just steam from coolant. The smell to me is similar to somewhere between overheated brakes and slipping transmission. Either way, it's a burning smell that sometimes makes its way into the cabin. But it's so random that I cannot replicate to take to the dealer.

Allthough I couldn't see the video (says it's private) I had steam coming from the grille this morning after the drive to work. 26 miles, pretty heavy rain and temp. about 50 degrees. I went back and checked the temp. gauge and it was perfectly normal. I also smelled it expecting some kind of burn scent and it actually smelled only like steam.
