engine stays cool

just flushed my radiator and and put new coolant in. What's the normal operating temp. for the 2.2 cl's?

I live in vegas and right now it's hot as Fu** out here and my temp gauge stays below the halfway mark...a little over a quarter of the gauge, is this normal?

If not I'm thinking I need a new thermostat...

It should stay a bit lower than the middle mark.

sometimes it stays well below the halfway mark...previous car was a lexus and the temp for that car stayed at the halfway mark, I believe 220. I just wanted to make sure this temp was normal for cl's, Thanks.

Talk about a resurrection... my old CL always ran at below the half mark of the temp gauge... sounds normal to me, mine sat at around there.
