As the car slowly warms up, the needle slowly rises to the Cold line which takes a few minutes. Once it hits that line, that is when the RPM's drop to normal idle speeds below 1000. So everything seems like it's working properly but the process takes up to 5 minutes which is longer than every other car I've driven.

Thanks for the responses!
These cars have an extremely large cooling system for the engine size so they do take a bit longer to warm up than some. Sounds like everything is fine.
