Another 17.5% opted for the BMW 6-Series, the only car here that's available as a coupe or convertible. (Mercedes-Benz sold 48 CL-Class Coupes, a car that is basically an S-Class Coupe, one we show along with the 6-Series in our premium sporty car charts elsewhere on GCBC.) BMW's 6-Series outsold BMW's own 7-Series sedan. The 6-Series Gran Coupe sedan costs more than the 6er coupe but less than the 6-Series sedan. In 640i trim, the Gran Coupe costs $2900 more than a 740i.

GCBC makes the tables below sortable, so you can arrange vehicles by February or year-to-date volume, for example, rather than the present alphabetical order. Historical monthly and yearly sales figures for any of these vehicles can be accessed by clicking the model name or by making a selection at GCBC's Sales Stats page. That's where you'll find out that Maserati sold 159 vehicles in total in February. Bentley sold 180.

The Cadillac XTS is America's 124st-best-selling vehicle through the first two months of 2013. Lexus's LS ranks 167th, one position ahead of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
