Yeah, there are probably better ways of spending $149,465 on automotive transportation. If you can spend $149,465 on automotive transportation, though, you won't find too many better combinations of performance, luxury, and prestige. Make mine black with a black interior, please.

I'm tired of pondering what Jesus might drive. Odds are he'd be all about fuel economy anyway. Let's play, What Would Odysseus Drive? An acknowledged man-god, Odysseus blended humility with fantastic achievement. For him I choose the CL63. Mercedes' amazing wunder coupe blends a subtle (too subtle?) silhouette with the heart of a 500-horsepower lion, and interior accommodations that are appropriately god-like. I'm pretty sure Odysseus would eschew the flashiness of a Maserati GranTurismo, or the pretense of a Bentley Continental. Nope, he's a CL man, er god.
