The Continental GT Speed Convertible out for a Sunday drive |
Things have been going well for the luxury car marque and with an SUV on the way, it can only get even better. Total sales were up 8.9% which was very good considering Rolls Royce had a good year as well. I colour coded the list on regions of the world, with Asia/Pacific (pink) taking seven of the top 13 places.

The USA remains top of the rankings, but China is growing faster and surely will overtake soon. Korea passed Japan for the first time and considering that its market is much smaller, that is quite an achievement. Austria sold more cars than France in another case of size doesn't always matter. The other figure will comprise largely of Gulf States, for which I have no data.
