Titan has deep canyons flowing with liquid methane

How do think we got the -179C temperature figure anyway?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huygens_(spacecraft)
The temperature at the landing site was 93.8 K (-179.35 °C) and pressure of 1467.6 mbar (1.448 atm), implying a methane abundance of 5 ± 1% and methane relative humidity of 50% near the surface.​

There's still the possibility of a kind of life to which methane would play the same role as water to us.
 
That's not any kind of life that currently exists on Earth.
Someday, we may be able to engineer such a thing, but that's still a ways off.
