Let's make nominations and kick them out as someone finds something ideally better.

Here's my nods:

Spyker C8

1995 Olds Aurora

Ferrari 250 SWB California roadster

2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

I don't know about the Focus.  Beauty has nothing to do with accessibility.  There were far better looking, just as accessible two box designs, in my opinion.
