Many new cars don't have a temperature gauge at all.

It's simply a light that goes blue when it's cold, goes away when it's operating temperature, and flashes red if it gets hot.

I'm not against it, as the average driver will probably pay more attention to a flashing light than a gauge steadily rising.

That said, it doesn't give a lot for us car geeks to go by, but that's what the ScanGauge's are for!
