I guess you can recognise at least the VW Beetle 
The black car behind it is a Brazilian derivative of the Opel Corsa B, rebadged locally as a Chevrolet. |

What a strangely proportioned car.
Reminds me of the small "trunk-ified" sedans in the Indian market that exist because of regulation.

Trust me, this is not so out of proportion compared to the hatchback on which it was based.

It's a little longer than these Indian sedanettes. BTW I have already seen both the Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire (at least 2 generations of it) and the Hyundai i10 personally, and they look quite proportionate. |

Back in the 1980s & 1990s I was living in the UK and there seemed to be a lot of ugly cars produced by adding a boot onto an existing hatchback. Horrible things like the Vauxhall Belmont, which never sold well I think. There was a Daihatsu but I can't remember what they called it. Also unpopular. Others as well but, thankfully, time has erased my memories of them. Best forgotten - neither one thing nor the other.
