It looks like GM had some good news and some bad news for the [Chevy Volt](http://www.engadget.com/tag/chevyvolt) to end 2011 with. As *Autoblog Green* reports, the plug-in vehicle saw its best ever month in December with 1,529 cars sold, bringing its total sales for the year to 7,671. That [still](http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/07/leaf-sales-outpacing-the-volt-winning-the-fight-for-american-ga/) wasn't enough to pull ahead of the [Leaf](http://www.engadget.com/tag/nissanleaf) electric vehicle in sales for the year, however, as Nissan managed to move a total of 9,674 units despite falling a bit short in December with just 954 cars sold. Both of those numbers are off the automakers' targets for their respective vehicles, though, with Nissan just a bit short of its 10,000-unit goal, and GM well off its original aim of 10,000-12,000 units sold. Unfortunately for GM, 2012 got off to a start with a few [new headaches for the Volt](http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/05/GM-Chevy-Volt-Battery-Fire-Test/).
