Mercury Topaz
The Topaz was the Mercury version of the Ford Tempo. These vehicles replace the Fox-bodied Ford Fairmont and Mercury Zephyr.
Both models were introduced in 1983; the smaller-midsize Topaz and Tempo were early examples of the design philosophy that would bring about the revolutionary 1986 Ford Taurus. The development program was codenamed Topaz. The body structure and powertrain design borrowed heavily from the Ford Escort, but due to the larger size of the Topaz there are few common components.
It received a major redesign in 1990 and was replaced by the 1995 Mercury Mystique.
