The Hummer H3. When the Hummer came out it did a few things exceptionally well — better than anything else — although there were plenty of areas (speed, aesthetics) where it was crap. It was popular, so they made a later version riding on the name that was incompatible with the original mission, hoping that the folks who had aspired to the first version would continue along; and somehow it worked.

A Mercedes Benz sprinter. It’s being used for everything. From simple delivery to nerdy camping. Not the fastest, but has loads of modularity and can work as a daily, work truck or leisure.

I'd say the sprinter is more like Fortran. You use it when you need to move around lots of stuff and although it's quite fast on its own, you would drive it neither for fun nor when you only have a few things to move around.
