If Sicilian Najdorf is the Cadillac of chess openings. What would other openings be as cars?

I don't know much cars name maybe you have some great analogies for them.

The King's Gambit might be Alfa Romeo [at least 1980s Alfa Romeo - I am told; and believe that; their modern cars are really reliable]. Exciting, great lines, good style, but with a distressing tendency to go completely wrong in novel and unexpected ways. [For clarity and to avoid howls of execration from KG enthusiasts, it's my favourite opening and one which I play at almost every available opportunity]

Toyota Corolla - Queen's gambit declined - strong, reliable, immortal, bit boring, hard to be aggressive and beat others with.
