There can be only one: Ford Tempo GL Diesel Coupe!

I'd say Highlander, but come on, the title of worst SUV to take off-roading has to go to any super-sized luxo-barge sport utility. Escalade, Navigator, whatever it is that Lexus and Infiniti makes.

Tempo is about as 'Merican as they come. Made down south in a UAW-ified plant.

Iconic? Explorer.

Chevrolet. Pontiac's image has been too raped by the corporate machine, despite that very image being everything the majority of Americans love: Power, Style, Speed. Yet there is good old Chevy. Maker of the El Camino, producer of the Silverado. They are, if anything, the most American of the American automakers and…

The worst car is anything with triple digit power figures. The best, you ask? But the Ford Tempo of course! Why, you ask further? Because that way, when John & Jane Young America can say to their children and grandchildren that they; "Walked up-hill to and from school pushing their '85 Tempo GL."

@Mike the Dog: Possibly true.

@UglyDuckCar: I am doubting the NASCAR versions of the 'Stang and Challenger will look at all like the stock models. Come on.. Besides, in reality, the Mustang (despite being less aerodynamic) is much faster then the Impaler.

@Ambiguously Strolling Player: That is just it! I stand firm in my belief the glory days of passion from Detroit was a period between 1984 and 1991. While I like Big Block Muscle as much as the next guy, I do not have the same respect for the original Mustang or GTO that I do for the 1986 Taurus and 1984 Tempo. Any…

I am angered by the title of his book.

"NASCAR envisions a future with General Motors" - Peninsula Clarion, local newspaper.

Cash for clunkers can go screw itself.

Where the Ferrari 612 is Megan Fox, and the Corvette is Angelina Jolie, I think the 1991 Mercury Topaz LTS (Luxury Touring Sedan) is Marilyn Monroe. Now stick with me for a second here.

You know, I love this car. The SHO. Its beautiful, its outstanding, its everything a four door sedan should be. However for lack of a good old fashioned manual transmission I will pass up on it and move straight for the old school second generation SHO. Better yet, I'll get myself a Mazda MTX-IV 5spd. manual equipped…

This thing is so much better then any Maybach.

$2,000 in damages for a minor fender bender. Pick up a old Ford Tempo for $500, insure it for under a grand, get in a fender bender, rip off the bumper and toss on a mismatched Topaz bumper from a junk yard.

@pauljones: Fire is, hot? I must test your theory.

That is exactly how it probably went down.

That is an awesome slogan for a Fit. Although Indians seem to lack in the area of humor. I suppose, Americans do as well..

@nairdasti: I thought Accord. In the end, what is the difference between Accord and Civic? Both are Hondas.
