2009 Frankfurt: Rolls-Royce Ghost is for the not so high-Rollers

The Rolls-Royce Ghost is not an apparition – it is actually a fairly affordable Rolls-Royce for those not looking to spend more than $250,000 on a car, yet still want to enjoy the exclusive things that life has to offer.
Since the Bentley Continental starts at $177,600, the decision to price the Ghost at $245,000 was a “quite deliberate” says Paul Newton, an analyst for IHS Global Insight.
It’s basically a recession-ready Rolls-Royce.
