Here we go!

Year to date sales (Jan-Feb 2012):

1626 - Volt
2123 - GMC Canyon
1556 - Corvette
725 - Buick Lucerne
247 - Caprice
157 - Cadillac DTS
59 - Cadillac STS

** (I wonder if some of these may be trickling sales of discontinued models... I left out some GM models that I knew for a fact have been discontinued, like Cobalt which has sold 3 this year.

And I didn't include low-volume variations of multi-version models, like Yukon XL vs. Yukon.)

For comparison, some top GM sellers, year to date:

59,147 - Silverado-C/K Pickup
35,476 - Cruze
34,663 - Malibu
