i used my 4.6iS in Moscow, russia in -40 degrees... you have to make sure that the car has fluids that are DESIGNED for the temperature, even the windshield washer fluid, and still, the car needs a shelter for overnight parking - you can't prevent it from being parked outside when you are in a store, or a mall, or at work, but if you have a garage - use it... if not... gee... i don't even know what to suggest - check into Webasto core heaters - they usually are more common with diesels, but in euro models thay are available with the gas engines too - those heaters are warming up the engine's "juices" prior to start... not a 100% panacea but something - in some countries it is a requirement to install those, like in Astana, kazakhstan... in moscow it was an optional... i did not install it though...
