The two way thermostat is designed to cut off heat to the passenger
compartment heater core and route all coolant through the radiator when
the engine gets too warm. 50% sounds way too cool for that, it typically
happened for me in the last 25% of the gauge. Possibilities:

a) Your temp gauge is reading lower than actual
2) Your thermostat is faulty

Some say your thermostat should be replaced with every antifreeze
flush. Others say it should be replaced any time the car overheats.
Either way, go for the cooler, 82c model. While your antifreeze is out,
also treat your (getting) older SAAB to the 82c fan switch.
