Credit crunch, what credit crunch? Maybe for us, but not for the rich and richer. While most automakers are in the process of tightening their collective belt, Rolls Royce is seeing its sales soar this year and it's getting ready to hire more workers to keep up with demand. Last month the British brand delivered 129 cars which represents growth of 7,5 percent compared to the same month in 2007. From January through September of this year, BMW Group-owned Rolls-Royce has delivered a total 827 vehicles to customers, achieving a gain of 42.8% over the previous year (579 units).
Commenting on the economic situation (we call it meltdown), Rolls Royce CEO Tom Purves said: “We’ve had a very good year. Nobody’s immune, and we certainly don’t think we’re immune, but we do think we have a certain degree of insulation.”

wow this is really interesting
whew!amazing!
It's crazy that the economy hasn't effected Roll's Royce at all - good for them...but some of us (like me) are at a point where we have to be a little extra careful. The folks at Warranty Direct put together an awesome blog with all the information anyone would ever want to know about car warranties - to make sure that people are getting the most for their money. If you have any questions about the topic, you should stop by!
Cheers,
