Bentley has about 170 dealerships worldwide, some 50 of which are in the US. Bentley is owned by Volkswagen. The preferred choice of both the nouveau riche and old money aristocracy, many of the most exclusive automobiles in the world are made by Bentley. Bentley's Continental GT costs about $150,000 -- a fair price when one considers the steering wheel's leather stitching takes as many man hours to complete as the building of an entire Ford sedan. Other Bentley models include the T, R, and RL model Arnage luxury sedans as well as the Azure (company's flagship in 2006), and Continental Flying Spur.

Bentley was founded in 1919. What do entertainers and blue-blooded aristocrats have in common? They both have a passion for expensive luxury automobiles. And cars don't get much more extravagant than Bentley. Bentley Motors Inc. is the US marketing and sales division of Volkswagen's Bentley Motors Limited subsidiary. The extremely expensive and extravagant Bentley models include the Arnage, Continental GT, and Continental Flying Spur, as well as the Mulsanne, the company's new flagship sedan, which debuts in the fall of 2010 (starting price is $285,000). The company prides itself on craftsmanship and the fact that it takes some 150 hours to hand-build a single Continental GT and 400 for the Arnage.

The plant, built in 1994, averages daily output of some 600 vehicles, 80% of which are customized for buyers. BMW Manufacturing serves up German engineering with a little Southern hospitality on the side. The South Carolina-based company is the exclusive manufacturer of the X3 and X5 SUV, and xDrive35d (diesel), as well as the X6 Sports Activity Coupe and ActiveHybrid. The 4 million-plus sq.-ft. factory, BMW's first full manufacturing facility outside Germany and its only US plant, delivers its cars throughout the US and worldwide. One of the greenest car manufacturing facilities anywhere, BMW Manufacturing uses water-based (rather than solvent) paints and powers the plant with recycled landfill methane gas.

Charged to oversee the group's largest single market -- the US -- BMW of North America was established in 1975. A subsidiary of BMW, BMW of North America provides marketing, sales, and financial services through almost 900 dealerships and motorcycle retailers. The company imports and manufactures BMW brands, such as the 1, 3, 5, 6, 7 Series; the X5, X6, and 24M models; and the MINI and Rolls-Royce brands. Styles include coupes, convertibles, sedans, roadsters, sports activity, and luxury vehicles. Divisions include BMW Manufacturing (South Carolina), industrial-design firm DesignworksUSA, a parts distribution center, a technology office, a technical training center, and other operations in the US.
