This is a smaller model offered by Toyota and proved successful in the Japanese market at the time of production, making a great car for work or personal life. This model is great for someone who wants a compact with enough loading space.

The Yaris Verso lacks vanity but makes up for it in versatility. This model was made to keep up and configure with your lifestyle with additional add-on accessories including a folding picnic table and play area. The Yarris Verso also features shifting seats for several configurations to fit around your lifestyle and you can remove the rear center seat to make a tray space for backseat passengers.

Speaking of vanity and versatility, next up is a car you’d think would be all about vanity over versatility and ends up with neither.

#10: 1978 Maserati Merak

The Maserati Merak is a mid-engined mid-range car that the automaker created to compete with the likes of Porsche 911 and the Lamborghini Urraco, Ferrari Dino 308 GT4, Porsche 911S, De Tomaso Pantera as well as BMW 3.0CSi.

The Merak bore a 3.0-liter V6 that powered the rear wheels. It was given a five-speed manual gearbox. It dates back to 1972 when the badly struggling automaker fell in the hands of Citroën corporate umbrella.

Strangely, even when a car makes all the wrong choices, it can still end up being a classic like our next entry.
