Perfectly normal for a bit of driving. Halfway up should be something like 195* for the coolant I think.

194* is not unusual for the transmission. As long as it stays under 230* it'll be happy.

If it was my new car, I'd do a coolant flush, transmission flush, supercharger oil change, and motor oil change right off the bat. You never know what kind of care has been taken care of it before you got it. If it's all stock fluids (likely), they're 5 years old and it's time to swap them out for fresh. Fresh dextron will also likely drop the transmission temp by a degree or two.
