Consider the Chevrolet SS, which plunged 61% to just 93 U.S. sales in December 2014. That was the SSs lowest full-month total since the car arrived late last year; its first full month with fewer than three digits.

Then theres the Acura RLX, which slid 61% to just 233 units, just 4% of Acuras car total; just 1% of the Acura brands total December volume; just 1/24th the total achieved by the BMW 5-Series in what was a down month for the BMW.
