答疑：u_r_mydreamDespite the financial uncertainty in Europe or the slowdown in China, the market for luxury cars has never been better.
British automaker Rolls Royce sold more than 3,500 ultra-luxury models last year, like this $450,000 Phantom Coupe. That's a 31% increase, and company CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös says it's the biggest in the firm's 107-year history.
"We have seen growth in all our markets worldwide but particular in the Asian markets and also in the United States. Both are our biggest markets worldwide."
German automaker BMW also enjoyed a banner year, posting record sales in 2011 - to take the top spot from Mercedes and Toyota's high-end Lexus line.  Paul Ferraiolo is head of BMW's product planning.
"We did nearly 250,000 BMW's in the U.S., and it was a great year. And it was because we had a lot of new models, and people are very happy with our latest lineup."尽管欧洲深陷金融危机、中国的经济增速放缓，但豪华车的销量却一片大好。
英国汽车制造商劳斯莱斯去年售出了3500多台超豪华轿车，包括像45万美元一台的幻影轿车。销量同比增长了31%，公司的首席执行官托斯顿•穆勒乌特弗斯表示这是公司创办107年来销量最好的一年。
“我们在全球市场上的销量都有所增加，特别是在亚洲和美国这两个我们销量最大的市场。”
对德国汽车制造商宝马来说，2011年也是丰收的一年，汽车销量创造了新的记录，超过梅赛德斯和丰田的高端雷克萨斯轿车系列，拔得头筹。保罗•菲拉奥罗是宝马产品规划部的主管。
“去年，我们在美国出售了近25万台宝马车，真是个不错的年份。这主要是因为我们推出的许多新车型受到了大众的喜爱。”
