==Fourth generation (1987β1991)== {{main|Chevrolet_Corsica|l1=Chevrolet Corsica}} [[File:Pontiac Tempest 3.1.JPG|thumb|right|Pontiac Tempest Sedan]] Pontiac marketed a [[badge engineering|rebadged]] version of the compact [[GM L platform|L-body]] [[Chevrolet Corsica]] as Tempest, for Canada, Israel and [[Gulf Cooperation Council|GCC]] only, beginning in model year 1987. The Tempest was built alongside the Corsica at the [[Wilmington Assembly]] plant in [[Wilmington, Delaware]].<ref>{{citation |title=Vehicle VIN Number|date=1988β1991 |publisher=created and issued by General Motors Corporation}}</ref> Discontinued in 1991, the Tempest was replaced with the [[Pontiac Grand Am|Grand Am]] sedan.<ref>{{cite book|last=Terauds|first=John|title=The Canadian Car Buyer's Survival Guide: How to Buy Or Lease the Right Vehicle at the Right Price|year=1996|publisher=Dundurn|page=109|isbn=978-0-88882-133-1|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mm2IOpFn-h8C&q=gm%20%22L-body%22%201992&pg=PA109}}</ref> The 1987-1991 Pontiac Tempest came in two trim levels, base (equivalent to the U.S. Corsica LT) and LE (equivalent to the U.S. Corsica LTZ) The main differences that separates the Tempest from its L-Body twin are different grille, emblems and taillights (the taillights were later adopted as the U.S. Corsica's taillights). The only other differences were wheel options, [[Daytime running lamp|DRL]]s and a metric instrument cluster. This model was also sold briefly in Israel; there are brochures showing Canadian-spec models from 1990/1991. {{Clear}}
