engine heat - 2006 C230 - Benzworld.org

I drove the 2006 C230 today for about 2 hours. I then stuck the car in the garage, and at about 3ish I drove off with the wife in the Toyota. We got home at almost 8. My garage was very hot which didn't surprise me since we're in Central Florida, and it was hot today. But as I passed the C230 I got the feeling it was hot. And sure enough, the hood was still more than warm. I never noticed any long time heat on the Toyota since it always slept outside (and continues to do so).
So, is this a normal thing for the Benz? A combination of the hot garage, the hot car and hot Florida?

any ideas folks?
Thanks

Park a hot car in a hot garage... it's probably going to take a while to cool down in comparison to the Toyota that's not enclosed in a garage.
