11. Ford Focus Mk1
Ford presented the Focus in 1998, designing it to be a global vehicle they could sell everywhere with minimal differences. But better yet, they managed to make the Focus Mk1 equally at home in Europe, America or South Africa.
With a modern design, hatchback body, and long list of optional extras, the Focus Mk1 was a globally successful automobile. It was also one of the most popular hatchbacks a car company ever offered on the American market.
