Whitney Houston’s death on Saturday was just the latest in a too-long line of showbiz tragedies. Even if her hyperproduced adult R&B wasn’t your style, you had to respect that voice — a dynamic and eerily clear mezzo-soprano with very few peers in pop music history.

Were it our personal protection services firm, our flagship vehicle would have to be a Brabus-tuned Mercedes Geländewagen, preferably with armor plating. The military-inspired G-wagen exudes a protective aura as it sits, but the monster V-12 and mods that Brabus puts in place take that self-secure attitude to a whole new level while providing enough torque to escape any threat — or flatten a Kardashian-grade paparazzi scrum.
