Wowing spectators at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show was the Citroen Survolt concept-a provocative exotic car with an appearance that makes it special.  This exotic car concept definitely stood out among its competitors at the show-and it is even environmentally friendly!

Yes, it would certainly seem that this French luxury carmaker has not forgotten the impact of aesthetics when designing this concept.  While green cars, and increasingly green luxury cars, are unarguably the trend of the future, they have not overlooked the fact that looks and sex appeal are two major components to selling an exotic car.

Ask Imagine: Ferrari Challenge Fret

Dear Imagine Lifestyles,

I have been following your luxury blog for a few months now, and noticed that the 2010 Ferrari Challenge is coming up.  I would like to enter the race within the next couple of years, but do not own a Ferrari. 

I am writing to inquire how exotic car rentals would react to a potential client who wanted to rent a Ferrari for the sole purpose of entering the Ferrari Challenge.  What are the odds of me pulling that off?  It would be a fabulous item to check off of the ole’ bucket list!

Sincerely,
Justin, West Palm Beach
