Mercury Topaz
Encyclopedia : M : ME : MER : Mercury Topaz
The Topaz was the Mercury version of the Ford Tempo. Both vehicles replaced the Fox-body Ford Fairmont and Mercury Zephyr.
Both models were introduced in 1983 for the 1984 model year; the compact Topaz and Tempo were early examples of the design philosophy that would bring about the revolutionary 1986 Ford Taurus. The development program for the Tempo and Topaz 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 were few common components.
It received a major redesign in 1988 that made the Topaz resemble the Mercury Sable. It was replaced in 1994 by the 1995 Mercury Mystique.
