America’s 1% occupy Ferrari, Bentley dealerships

In these days of Wall Street occupied by protestors upset with growing income inequality, America's wealthy have found a retreat from the din — at their nearby luxury car dealer.

While overall auto sales are up about 10%, sales of the most expensive luxury cars in America have grown about 13.5% so far this year, give or take a half percentage point depending on where the velvet rope is draped between high-end and "starter" luxury cars. Through the first 10 months, the trend shows that the higher the price on the sticker, the bigger the gain.
