Don't think it's the economy; Rolls Royce and Bentley have never sold that many cars in their history as in the last couple of years. At any given day I see at least one or two Phantom's/Ghost and Bentleys are just as common as a S63 if not a CL550 around here.
I think it was not outlandish enough and to conservative to succeed against RR and Bentley: the ubber rich like to flaunt their wealth. And the design got outdated pretty fast.
