Of those seven which one would you vote for?

I actually had the opportunity to drive a Toyota Yaris a couple weeks ago while my car was in the shop. Not sure I'd vote for it, but, I don't know anything about the others. I can say, it was good enough I'd give it some consideration when I'm ready to buy another car.

Probably the Ampera. It's how hybrids should have been done in the first place - the Prius and friends are total cons.

Believe it or not, one of my very first cars was an Opel. It was a station wagon and blue. I believe it was a Caravan.

Later, my younger brother also had an Opel. His was a 2-door sedan which he nearly tore up driving it on the sand back roads in Florida. ;-)

Caravan is Opels name for station wagons, not a model name.
