A quick look at 28 new luxury vehicles to watch out for in 2010

2010 Rolls-Royce Ghost
For 2010 Rolls-Royce will debut a car that slots under the mammoth Phantom, so in essence it's the "baby" of the lineup, but there's nothing infantile about this mature and sophisticated luxury sedan. Aimed squarely at the Bentley Continental Flying Spur, the 563-hp 6.6-liter V-12 engine-equipped Ghost is a bull's-eye. Expect the finest luxury that your $245,000 can buy. Also expect your neighbors to come after you with pitchforks and torches for buying a new Roller in a recession. But with 0-60 times in the 4.8-second range, and a top speed of 155 mph, a quick getaway should pose no problem.
