ggj NLI don't know about America, but in Europe, the 13" sportwheels were only available on the 1600 GLS and Turbo. This one doesn't have them so I think this must a 1400 GL or 1400 GLX. On the second picture you can see that the rear seats have headrests. It therefor is a 1400 GLX.

The color of the car is called 'Milano Gold S34(M)' (metallic color).

Oh please, that is a really pathetic attempt for a come back. For one (and the most obvious) factor, that brand of toilet paper is not available in the country where the Tempo was sold (America). Then another thing, was that toilet paper brand even around when the Tempo was?

And as for the 2007 Rabbit, its just like always, a Golf with a different name. :o

Explorer4x4Yea, not much of a point to changing a good name for another market. But the odd thing is that Volkswagen also sold the Golf in America, they basically just sold the Golf here and then sold it (at the same time mind you) as the Rabbit. Personally, I am not a fan of any of Volkswagen's names. As they are either odd (Golf, Rabbit, Beetle, Gol), hard to pronounce (Touareg) or they are wimpy (Jetta). But any way, Rabbit and Gol are just plain bad. 2007-02-03 22:35

:p We all have different opinions, and I respect that. But I prefer the Tempo. Maybe not the first gens (which were not as good looking as the Rabbit), but the second and third generations looked way better. Part of the reason I am not a big fan of the Rabbit's appearance is because I always think of a box.

I prefer these:

Ford has never, ever (in all its 100+ years of existence) had as many rebadges as GM. You proved it by listing those 11 Cavalier rebadges. Ford's top was 3.

Explorer4x4-Edmunds.com is not an official resource. TempoTopaz.com (an official club I might add) got their information STRAIGHT FROM FORD.
-As for sales, that is hardly a fair comparison. Its because GM is such a horrorable, horrorable make and really only has 2 cars, but just put different grills and badges on them and calls them completely new/different that they sold more (in total). If you are going to do a fair/real comparison, you will have to put the Tempo sedan and coupe sales together (3,701,946) and the Cavalier sedan and coupe sales. You can't really count the wagon and convertible sales as Tempo did not offer them. Even if you add up all Cavaliers (all four) and all Tempos (two), the Tempo STILL SOLD MORE! Ha, I wonder what GM thought when that ten-year-old sedan beat all four of their models. Shows what people like(d) more. And Ford did offer wagons, Escorts and Taurus'. The Cavalier convertible was a complete and total worthless failure. So why would Ford want to add a Tempo or Taurus convertible? Once again, you can't compare all of GM's rebadges (because their are so many), Ford however, does not have that problem.
-As for reliability, all I can say is LOL @ U! Firstly, I own a 1989 Tempo and I am the second owner. It had never had 1 problem in its entire 19 years of life. And if you read the reviews at places like Epinions.com and MSNAutos.com, almost every single one says the same thing. Extremely reliable (some even say too reliable). As for GM Cavaliers and Cavalier rebadges, I have yet to hear of a success story.
-What is this difference you speak of? The Ford Tempo sits on the Ford CE14 chassis, which is a lengthened Escort (and vice versa; Escort is a shortened Tempo). They were both designed by Jack Telnack, both had similar styles and both shared engines and transmission. Only differences were small appearance changes (and I have seen a lot of people mistake Tempos and Escorts, even on IMCDb) and one offered a station wagon body (to compete with Cavalier).
- The 1992 Ford Tempo GLS, and the 1992-1994 Tempo GL and LX, had a 3.0L Vulcan V6 that was rated at 135HP (130HP in 1992) and 150lb-ft of torque. The 1992 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 had a 2.8L V6 that was rated at 125HP (thats 10HP less then the Tempo's V6).
-I know what the Tempo is. But I had no idea there is a law against liking them. I too have an affection for pos cars from the 80's, even the Cavalier is a personal fave. However, even though I do like other 'econoboxes' like the Dodge Spirit, Chevy Cavalier and Chevy Corsica (which I like the best out of GM's contributions to the economy car), I do like their Ford competitors much more.

www.Edmund.com, which is not as biased as tempotopaz.com

Explorer4x4 wrote Whatever it is, it is not a competitor to the Tempo.


The Tempo/Topaz and Cavalier/Sunbird/etc. are both in the same class (this means that they ARE competitors.

Explorer4x4 wrote but my results were 3,701,946. And that is in North America alone.


and the Cavaliers (North American) sales were 3,693,280 from 84-94 as you noted above..... Hmmmmm thats a difference of 8,666 I wouldnt really consider that "far (far, really, really, really far) ahead in sales" as you put it :o

just for giggles add up all Tempo and Topaz numbers and see if they can compare to all J-bodies (84-94) = 6,012,446 and thats not counting Toyota Cavalier, Holden Camira, Opel Ascona C, Opel Monza, Chevrolet Monza, Vauxhall Cavalier, Isuzu Aska and Daewoo Espero.

Explorer4x4 wrote I like the Rabbit more then the Cavalier because I have yet to see a Cavalier that has lasted 1 year without some major part failing or falling apart.


Hmmm I have owned 17 J-bodies over the years (and for years at a time) and have NEVER had any Major Problems with any of them. I have also owned a couple of Escorts and a 1987 Tempo GL Sport, I had nothing but problems with my Ford-engined Escort, but my Mazda-Engined Escort was an awesome car, and the Tempo was actually a pretty good car also.


Explorer4x4 wrote And guess what else, the 2/3 best seller was the shortened version of the Tempo, the Escort.


NO the Tempo was based on a Lengthened Escort platform...There is a difference

Explorer4x4 wrote Tempos sell for $1,000 to $2,000, and more when they've got the V6 (rare, and faster/powerful then cars from its time)


NOT HERE And the 3.0 Vulcan V6 has the same horspower as GM's 2.3L Quad 4 I4 (145) so it's nothing special

Explorer4x4 wrote Cavalier was a mid-size/compact four-door sedan, two-door coupe, convertible coupe and station wagon. Tempo is a compact two-door coupe and four-door sedan.


Actually they are both Compacts and I cant help it that GM was smart enough to be versitile enough to produce a compact coue/sedan/conv and wagon on one platform and Ford Didn't :think:


With all this being said I didn't post my original post about the Cavalier to show "how good" it was, all I was trying to do was give you an example of another car in the Tempo's class that it has not "left it in its dust" as you claim, Just imagine what the numpers of the Tempos other Competitors were. I am the first to admit that I love Econ-Shitboxes (GM J, L, M, and N bodies esp) but I dont try to say that they are the best cars in the world. I know they are Econo-boxes just as the Tempo is, Explorer4x4 that is something you are gonna have to come to terms with Tempos are Econo-shitboxes !

I also dont want ppl to think I am a Ford-Hater, I love Taurus' (I have had a couple SHO's) and I think that the 86 Taurus was far, far ahead of it's time and I also like the first generation Escort/Lynx (another econo-box) ;)

And the Cavalier sold 3,693,280 from 1984 to 1994 (in the exact same time the Tempo did), less then the Tempo. However, this is not a fair comparison. Cavalier was a mid-size/compact four-door sedan, two-door coupe, convertible coupe and station wagon. Tempo is a compact two-door coupe and four-door sedan. And another thing, the Tempo averaged $4,000 cheaper in price when new.

I'm a big Ford guy and own a Taurus, so I know that the Cavalier and the Taurus were not close competitors. Chevrolet's answer to the Taurus was the Lumina which is much closer in size and features compared to a Cavalier.

www.tempotopaz.com

Go to the 'Year-By-Year' section (left side menu), you have to go to each year (1984, 1985, 1986, et cetera, and all the way to 1994) and add up the production numbers (which were gathered straight from Ford Motor Company). I did, took me a while, but my results were 3,701,946. And that is in North America alone. They also listed the Tempo's standing on the 'best seller charts'. Which were record in 1984 at 4th Place. Four out of the five best selling cars were Fords (only good cars between 1984 and 1997 really). And guess what else, the 2/3 best seller was the shortened version of the Tempo, the Escort.

And I would like to see your resources as well please. And what does any of this have to do with the Chevy Cavalier? The Tempo and Cavalier had absolutely nothing in common, as they did not even compete with each other (Chevrolet's answer to Ford's Tempo was the pos Corsica, and Dodge's was the Aries and Spirit). The Cavalier is a mid-size sedan, coupe, convertible and wagon, Tempo is a compact sedan and coupe. The Cavalier is a competitor to the Ford Taurus, and guess who sold more (and was best selling car from 1986 to 1997)?
