Mercury Topaz

Mercury was sort of the lost Ford brand during the 1990s as their cars were nothing more than rebadged Ford models. The underpinnings of the Topaz had some unique engineering though, as Mazda developed the suspension for the car. That meant that the Topaz drove a lot better than the Tempo that it shared a platform with. The Topaz was not the most popular car by any means and most enthusiasts wish this car would disappear forever (via Autoweek).

Overall, drivers simply don’t remember Mercury models with any real degree of fondness as the cars were just weaker versions of Ford models in weak disguises. The Topaz embodied that school of thought perfectly, providing almost no excitement for drivers in a decade full of cars that were able to do just that.
