: here that C is to Ada as a motorcycle is to a car.

I'm not sure this analogy is totally appropriate, because
motorcycles and cars are so different. C isn't so much more
flexible as a motorcyle is when compared to a car en route.
They are also used for different purposes.

Maybe we can find a typical C car and a typical Ada car?
