that is because most jap cars dont use the dynamic temperature gauges. It basically stays in teh middle all the way... and it only goes up if you really have trouble with your cooling. Hence 80*c or 90*c or even 100*c.. no diff for jap cars..
as for our old cars.. we have the dynamic temperature gauges that basically tells us "exactly" (duh!.. not really!) the temperature our engines are operating at. I kinda like this rather than the phantom gauges where it is in the middle all the time. Though i think newer MBs are using this already.
P.S. forgot to post in-topic... my temp basically stays a little above 80*C.. goes around 90*C on very hot days.
