Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co. is wasting no time making its moves, and luxury cars. Just out of the gate from a deal to acquire Ford Motor Co.’s Volvo car unit, Geely is diving into a complete rebranding strategy aimed at perching it among China’s top automakers. We think ambition is sexy, and hope the resulting rides are.

Dear Imagine Lifestyles,
I have recently begun following your luxury blog, as I frequently perform online searches for rental cars and found your website to be informative and also entertaining. I live in Chicago, which you have recently begun to service with your fleet of luxury car rentals.
There are times when I attempt to contact luxury rental companies in the area, and they lack the tact to even answer their phone. I think this is extremely unprofessional, so I never followed up with a second attempt to do business with them. 
Other so-called “luxury” companies do not have in stock what I consider to be luxury cars. For example, while they may have a BMW or two, they lack the bad boys like Ferrari, Bentley and Rolls-Royce.
I would like to see how your level of service relates to my needs, and what exotic cars you have available in Chicago. I will not suffer another company promising me the stars and then falling far short.
Sincerely,
Albert, Chicago

So without further ado, our top ten exotic cars that we deem acceptable to get caught kissing in are as follows:

The 2010 Pro Bowl and then, Super Bowl XLIV are coming to Miami! Will Smith sang it best, "Party in the city where the heat is on. All night, on the beach ’till the break of dawn. Welcome to Miami, bienvenido a Miami!" The NFL has awarded the 2010 Super Bowl to Miami, Florida. It will be the record breaking tenth time Miami is hosting the mega-melee. Making Miami the only place to be next January/February. Don’t like Super Bowl? Then we don’t know where you came from but, regardless, Miami is still the place to be in January and February. The important people retreat to Miami in prime season, Super Bowl or not.
Hundreds of thousands of people will be invading South Florida so get your game face on. Book a place on South Beach now because the beach is booking fast.Try the Setai Hotel & Residencies or the brand new, not-even-opened-yet W Hotel & Residencies. Both hotels are on the sand in the center of South Beach and come equipped with pools, spas, gyms, etc. Or opt to stay a few minutes off the beach in a luxury building like the Icon, resort amenities sans the hotel part.
Next, rent an exotic car or luxury car service because the street game is about as fierce as Super Bowl. If a car isn’t branded Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, Maserati, Ferrari, Lamborghini or an equivalent, then you’re not playing with the big boys.

The Rolls-Royce Ghost is getting a lot of attention. So much attention that Rolls-Royce has to pump up the volume. Which, in essence, will help the unemployment rate a little. See good things do happen when people spend money on luxury goods. The brand new RR Ghost is so sought after that the British manufacturer will have to double production. This will result in about 400 new jobs in two years at the Goodwood, West Sussex factory. This all comes before the Ghost has even been released. Rolls-Royce has been planning production expansion for some time now, in order to make room for the baby Ghost. Expect the Ghost model to hit streets next fall.

Luxury is reserved for the rich but everybody deserves to indulge once in awhile. While owning a luxury car is a universal dream, driving one doesn’t have to remain fantasy. You can rent the car of your dreams for the day and indulge. That feeling of stepping up in the world is priceless, even if only for 24 hours.
While it may seem that people own what they drive, looks can be deceiving. Down in Miami renting luxury is in and owning luxury is getting harder to do, in this economic climate. Your average joe up to your average millionaire is renting his luxury, especially when it comes to exotic luxury cars. Whether it be for business or pleasure, renting is the way to go. Here are the top 5 most rented luxury cars.
1. Aston Martin Vantage convertible: $1,100 a day
The Aston Martin Vantage affords the most bang for the buck! The two-seater has a 4.7-liter V8 engine and tight handling. Go ahead and channel your inner James Bond.
2. Bentley GT-C convertible: $1,799 a day
The Bentley GT-C is not popular so much for speed as for space. The convertible seats four with a trunk big enough for golf bags or luggage. The Bentley convertible is the perfect vacation rental to make a statement with. Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan are just two celebrities that drive the $200,000 Bentley.
3. Ferrari F430 Spider: $2,299
The F430 Spider has a 4.3-liter V8 engine and does zero to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. The $220,000 Ferrari makes use of F1 paddle shift technology, changing gear takes just 150 milliseconds.

The Palm Beach Cavallino Classic is a highly regarded automotive event that sits in first-class company with the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, the Louis Vuitton Concours d’Elegance, the Villa d’Este Concorso d’Eleganza, and the Concorso Italiano. The Cavallino Classic is also considered to be the premier Ferrari event in the nation. The year is brand new but the 2009 Cavallino Classic is already over with January. The 18th Classic came to pass once again from the famed Breakers Resort in Palm Beach, Florida. We never mentioned the Cavallino Classic, well, because its just not for everyone and the events are private affairs. Having said that, we were there and have some highlights to share. The Breakers Resort was covered in Ferrari supercars galore; from futuristic to classic and racetrack worthy, all on display. We first found a yellow, Ferrari FXX Enzo racecar.
To the Ferrari ignorant, FXX Ferrari’s are not homologated for road use and have no plans to be. The FXX prototype was designed exclusively for track driving as part of a specific Ferrari Research and Development program. And this specific R&D program focuses on the further improvement of Ferrari’s handling and performance.
In terms of driveability we appreciated another yellow Ferrari. A yellow, Ferrari special edition F430 Spider Scuderia. The Ferrari F430 Spider Scuderia is a lightweight drop-top version of the inspiring track-ready 430 Scuderia. The differences? Other than no roof, it has a special stripe down the middle and comes with an iPod Touch. And what’s the point? There is no point, the F430 Spider Scuderia was made for the ultimate Ferrari collector, it’s a limited edition Ferrari. Think high eights to a million dollars to own, only a few ever get made and they all always sell out.
Basically we saw every Ferrari ever at this year’s Cavallinio Classic, enough to make any horse prancer wet. While we love us some Ferrari, the Classic wasn’t all Ferrari. Other upscale marques such as Maserati, Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini and even Saleen came to show. Click here to see the 18th Palm Beach Cavallino Classic plus more from Imagine Lifestyles.

The baby Phantom has leaked. The Rolls-Royce 200EX will premier at the Geneva Motor Show and, although, smaller than the Phantom she is still a big deal. The project code name comes from the "experimental" prototypes that Rolls-Royce created during the pre-war era. The smaller version Phantom will lose the 200EX moniker shortly and be renamed with some variation of the words Shadow, Spirit or Cloud. The 200EX concept should be realized and in production by 2010 and has
it’s sight set on the Bentley Continental Flying Spur market. The Rolls-Royce 200EX will be the fourth model premiered since BMW took over in 2004. Rolls-Royce pulled the best of the best from the Phantom and Drophead Coupe models and then used the latest BMW 7 Series platform in the new concept car.
 
The smaller package spans 212.6 inches long, 83 inches wide and 61 inches tall, with a wheelbase of 129.7 inches. A new air suspension system has been concealed behind seven-spoke, 20-inch wheels. Rolls-Royce says the 200EX will be powered by a new V12 but other then that, engine details are all on the down low. Rolls-Royce is synonymous with luxury in the motoring world and luxury is what you can expect in the 200EX. The inside will hold frosted lamps, chrome door handles, violin key switchgear and an ergonomic roller-ball controller to manipulate the car’s systems.The concept’s look is less formal, not less luxurious but more driveable, prices have not yet been released but expect the 200EX to start at around a quarter million. Its like they say, sometimes the best things come in small packages.
