Rolls Royce convert. sold out for 2 years
The Rolls Royce 100EX convertible hasn’t even entered production yet, and already is sold out for the first two years, according to a report by AutoTelegraaf. According to the report, the first trial production run at Goodwood went perfectly to plan. The first 100EX convertibles are expected to roll off the line in the middle of next year.

But R/R is not alone. Other, much-less-complex and easier-to-build cars are not produced in sufficient quantities to meet demand either, such as the Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky, Corvette, and Toyota Prius, resulting in needles waiting lines and price gouging at dealerships. ( though price gouging probably doesn't mean much on a $400,000- $500,000 car to start with ).

ANY R/R...even the not-so-latest ones.....are, to some extent, status symbols. My point , though, is that if you want to sell cars you have to BUILD them.
