Oh good. I ordered 3.

Yeah that’s the ticket.

So...where do you THINK all that COVID money and ‘aid’ to the Ukraine was going?

[Da Coyote]

Heh, and guess who’s buying them? Those folks pushing bug eating and electric cars on we proles. Always remember where these folks live and their habits - we’re going to need that info. They can have only so much protection.

The headline doesn't make any sense - luxury brands aren't supposed to be affected by economic trends. Only faux-luxury brands that appeal to aspirational consumers will see any big hits to their sales.

I used to work in a shipyard. Rolls Royce is heavily involved in the marine industry and we frequently had their tech reps in the yard. I always asked them if they could get me a discount on one of their cars. Not one of them thought that was funny, but I always did.

The purpose of the plandemic was to exterminate small businesses and transfer all wealth to the global elite.

It worked!

[Huskrrrr]

They’re kind of “boxy” looking for my tastes. I’ll pass.

I’m waiting for Rolls Royce to come out with a golf cart so I can look snazzy as I zip around a retirement community.

I couldn’t afford one if you gave it to me.

Must be all those lower and middle class people trading in their gas guzzling junkers for those inexpensive, Rolls Royce EVs. This will help them save money on their monthly automobile expenses AND save the planet . . .

~$2.9 billion for building 6000 cars. Not bad.

OK, rich people can still afford a Rolls Royce in these economic times. But can they afford a dozen eggs?

Rolls-Royce unfazed by cost of living crisis as annual sales hit record

The ultra-rich are not facing a cost of living crisis and never will.

RR Automotive is owned by BMW. RR Marine Systems, power systems, turbomeca, etc, etc, etc, are all separate and not owned by BMW.

The people buying these cars are seriously insulated from this. They’ve got money to burn, literally.
Whatever, I’m not jealous. Stating the obvious.

[frank ballenger]

Good discussion point for FReepers:

For all the people here who bought a Rolls Royce recently, did the price of gas (or EV electric charges) cause you to think twice?

[Organic Panic]

People that buy Rolls aren’t affected by economic situations.

Plus they make darn good turbine engines that are always in demand.
