“Would sir like to take delivery of his new Bently now?”

“Umm – no thanks, I’m reconsidering my order.”

“Is sir suffering financial stress?”

“No, not at all, I’m just putting off delivery because I don’t want to make such a lavish and visible purchase when many consumers (but not me) face tougher times. I’m going to purchase some art instead where I can enjoy my continuing wealth in the privacy of my own (palatial) home.” [Pants on fire]

He probably pays attention to the art auction market, which is presumably still going strong.

This global economic shitkicking is definitely not what GM or Ford need right now.

Sir Stuart knows this because he is in touch with his customers. Unlike the Detroit 3, he considers that part of his job.
