Yeah, I thought the same thing about temp gauges. I wonder what it takes to move them above norm. However, they are sometimes handy to tell if your thermostat is stuck open.

I did notice that the Yaris lacks a coolant temp gauge. It now just has an LED that is blue when cold, green or yellow (I forget) when warm, and red (or something) when its overheating. For the average driver who probably never even pays attention to their temp gauge, this is all they really need.
