It could be the gauge as suggested above. Factory guages are seldom that accurate. You could also have a bad T-stat. If it is opening to late it would keep the temp up. You really need to get a reading of how hot the car is really running. A good shop will have a temp sensor that will read the temp just by pointing a gun at it. I guess it reads IR or something. I don't know what temp these cars are supposed to run at though or where the T-stat is supposed to open.
