Rolls-Royce snags new designer

From one famous British luxury-car maker to another--that's the bespoke transition ahead for Giles Taylor.

He's taking over as head of exterior design for Rolls-Royce in April, after an extensive career at Jaguar, where he was chief designer.

The 43-year-old also worked as an exterior designer for PSA Peugeot Citroen.

Taylor, a veteran of the British design business, fills a vacant position at Rolls-Royce. He oversaw two product programs at Jaguar.
