Actually, the engine never fully warmed up for the entire 40 minute trip. Does a good radiator do that? Or does honda know something about engine cooling that other car companies dont? We were in a 2004 honda accord.

Sounds like no thermostat or thermostat was stuck open (
or extremely cold weather?).
With a properly working thermostat (opening and closing as needed), even an oversized radiator shouldn't keep an engine from coming up to operating temperature.
