A Luxurious Limo for American Idol Finalist

Filed in archive on May 24, 2006

With another season of "American Idol" about to end, we thought it would be appropriate to choose a car that suits each of the two final contestants, something that fits their personality and singing style. This was relatively easy for Katherine McPhee. She's a young woman with a lovely voice, best suited to popular classics such as Over the Rainbow. And good for you, Katherine, for singing it your way and not imitating Judy Garland. Kat's a big girl (but please, no more of those tight dresses!) and should be chauffered, so we think she deserves a "Maybach", which she can afford to buy when the inevitable recording contracts begin paying off: stretched out in that luxurious rear seat, having ordered a custom interior and special paint job, Katherine can sip a glass of wine or two on the way to the Grammys. She'll compare experiences with Spain's King Carlos I, who just took delivery of a 612 hp Maybach. The King does his own driving, though, as he's a car enthusiast and F1 fan.
