I do not approve. Its simply ugly, but, because its a BMW its going to be considered awesome Stateside no matter how ugly.

@Fluffy, Pushbroom: Ah yes. The Vulcan was standard on the Tempo GLS, optional on the GL and LX. Unfortunately the GLS was discontinued after 1992, so its sort of the ultimate Tempo in terms of performance. According to Car & Driver, an MTX-IV-equipped 1992 GLS will do 0-60MPH in 7.8 seconds. Although finding a GLS in…

@engineerd confused n00b:

@Ford Tempo Fanatic: Woah. I feel like I just made a lot of words that make no sense. Okay, in short, I like Tempos. A lot, for no real logical reason because they truly are awful cars. They had a few funky options like AWD and diesel, and their interior fit and finish was pretty good by today's standards. Other then…

@pauljones: I really can't put my finger on it, but there are more then one reason. Part of it is I raised my '89 AWD back to health, so its sort of special in that sense. Part of it is that the Tempo's story intrigues me. Its one of innovation and fatal mistakes on Ford's part. I also find it interesting how the…

You see, the problem with using an Impreza as Brian O'Conner's vehicle is this: You just know there is going to be a climatic serious scene where he must race to save someone and there will be many close-ups of his visage during said sequence. It won't work in my opinion, because the Impreza just doesn't look like a…

What, no Tempo? In all seriousness though, I see no appealingly customized car in any of those shots. Maybe that red Camaro..

Jackie Stewart. I really don't think he liked the Ford Tempo as much as he let on in that 1985 Tempo advertisement. Yeah he called it a real drivers car, as the over-steer almost took him off the track.

An Impreza. Here I thought this movie was going to be okay.

The ignorant, immature side of me says "GET A HUMMER" but the sensible, lover-of-lightweight-agility side says "I WANT ONE. This is too much for me to handle.

OshKosh. I want you.

@JackMaz got wagon fever: What happens if I refuse?

I'm still what you'd call a "n00b" to the whole Jalopnik community. I am confused. Doesn't this mean less DOTS articles...?

That thing is more depressing then seeing the Rolling Stones in concert. I mean, you'd think someone as bad ass as Mick Jagger wouldn't be able to grow old. Whatever. The 'Stones are still bad ass.. Don't give a crap what people say...

@kingedwin: Trouble loading items into the cargo bed you say? The solution to your predicament would be Ford's tailgate step. Also, I'd take my crappy-ass '94 Chevy K2500 over this thing. Yeah it gets 11MPG, and the 350 makes a little over 200HP. But I bet you anything its a better work truck. I mean, you wouldn't…

Tundra sucks. I don't care if its got pneumatic displacement.

Thats actually not too bad for a Kia.

That grill. Its terrible! I mean, the unpainted plastic egg-crate grill on my '94 Chevy truck isn't no looker. But at least its not like that thing thrown on that Honda.

Here in The Last Frontier, we know not the meaning of Applebee's. For the closest example of that particular eatery is in Anchorage. A far away town of over 173 miles distance.

@Deartháir: ...and roughly twice the awesome.
