Even in a time of economic crisis, Rolls Royce is more present than ever. Now owned by German automaker BMW, the various Rolls Royce models offer sensibly the same massive and heavy style. A 6.8-litre V12 powers the Phantom, while a 6.6-litre propels the smaller Ghost. Luxury is what theses cars are all about, with prestigious leather seats and exotic woodwork. And best of all, you get great reliability.
