General Motors Co. reported a 2022 year-over-year 2.5% sales increase despite supply struggles mixed with slowing demand toward the end of the year as interest rates continued to increase.
GM's U.S. dealers sold 2,274,088 new vehicles last year, up from the 2,218,228 sold in 2021. GM reclaimed its throne from Toyota Motor Corp. as the top-selling U.S. automaker after losing the title in 2021. The Japanese automaker reportedly sold 2.1 million vehicles last year, a 10% decrease from 2021's sales.
In the fourth quarter, GM's dealers sold 623,261 new vehicles, up 41% from fourth quarter 2021's sales of 440,745.
The Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac brands all saw sales increase year over year. Chevy was up 6%, Cadillac 14% and GMC 7%. Meanwhile, Buick's sales declined 42%.
GM and other automakers have been able to add some supply and increase fleet sales, which were up 101% in the fourth quarter and 44% for the year.
GM touted its strength in the pickup/SUV market with 1.1 million full-size pickups, midsize pickups and full-size SUVs sold in 2022.

We shall see in just a few weeks how Caddy does on the track in two forms
Andretti Global and General Motors (GM) have announced their intention to partner on a potential Formula 1 entry, following the FIA’s announcement it may invite Expressions of Interest from new teams.
FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem tweeted that he had asked the governing body to look into the potential to expand the F1 grid earlier this week, and in a joint announcement issued on Thursday Andretti and GM said they are pursuing an entry as Andretti Cadillac.
The partnership would bring GM into F1 for the first time.
“General Motors is honored to team with Andretti Global on this historic moment in racing,” said GM president Mark Reuss. “We have a long, rich history in motorsports and engineering innovation, and we are thrilled with the prospect of pairing with Andretti Global to form an American F1 team that will help spur even more global interest in the series and the sport.
-----------------------------------
Feast your eyes on Cadillac’s latest coupe.
No, this isn’t a concept, but a production model of sorts set to make its first official appearance later this month.
It has a naturally aspirated 5.5-liter V-8 internal combustion engine paired with a hybrid powertrain and one seat. Oh, and it’s a race car vying for overall victory at the Rolex 24 At Daytona.
Of course, we’re talking about Cadillac’s V-LMDh race car set to compete in the 2023 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. Co-developed with Dallara, Cadillac Design and Cadillac Racing, it will compete in the all-new, or renewed if you like, Grand Touring Prototype (GTP) class. GTP replaces DPi, or Daytona Prototype international, as the top racing class in the series.
What’s more, Cadillac will be joined by Acura, BMW and Porsche LMDh entries, doubling the manufacturer competition from last year in the top class.
The Cadillac stands out, however, both visually and audibly. Aside from the Cadillac emblem proudly adorned front and center, you’ll immediately notice a vertically stacked array of headlights on either side of it.
As your eyes flow across the body, you’ll also see what Cadillac calls “floating blades.” Extending out from the top of the wheel wells, toward the cockpit. These thin horizontal elements add visual width to the car and give off a razor sharp, knife-edge kind of vibe which suits a racetrack just fine.
Then there’s what we’ll call the sound system in the car. Cadillac is one of three makes to opt for a V-8 engine in its GTP car, but stands alone in making it naturally aspirated. Cadillac also used a naturally aspirated V-8 for its DPi entries.
“The naturally aspirated 5.5L V-8 sounds beastly,” says Kalvin Parker, assistant program manager of Cadillac Racing. “And you can tell where the Cadillac is on track just by listening. It’s impossible to mistake it for anything but a Cadillac.”
Just like the outgoing DPi-V.R Cadillac race car, the V-LMDh carries on with the same displacement and induction. And it rumbles down the pits and roars down the straight with a throatiness and gustoIf you listen carefully, you can almost hear it yelling “Merica!” at every corner exit.
Despite retaining engine size, this is a new unit. As it needs to pair with the standardized hybrid system co-developed by Xtrac, Bosch and Williams Advanced Engineering. When asked why Cadillac stuck with the same displacement and configuration, Parker said,
“The 5.5-liter V-8 offers a solid balance of torque and power output across a wide range of circumstances.
“When choosing the engine for the V-LMDh, we designed an engine that took all the learnings we’ve had from past programs and applied them in a way we felt would bring us success across the wide range of circuits we’ll be racing at.”
Another aspect to consider, Cadillac’s is the largest engine in the field. Acura’s twin-turbo V-6 displaces 2.4 liters.
BMW’s twin-turbo V-8 displaces 4.0-liters. And Porsche’s twin-turbo V-8 is the second largest, but nearly a liter smaller at 4.6.
With IMSA’s Balance of Performance keeping every engine’s output around 670 horses, including the hybrid system, Cadillac’s engine will be the least stressed and easiest to keep cool. Theoretically, at least.
Oh, and there’s a smudge of history too. “Cadillac has a lot of experience developing incredible high-performance V-8s,” Parker said. “Beginning with the Cadillac OHV in 1949, which powered the first Cadillacs at Le Mans, the Briggs Cunningham ‘Le Monstre’ and ‘Petit Pataud.’ We made the decision to continue with an all-new (normally aspirated) 5.5-liter V-8 based on our previous successes, which seems like a very natural progression for our return to Le Mans.”
Cadillac has a pair of V-LMDh cars entered for the full WeatherTech Championship season: one each fielded by Action Express Racing and Chip Ganassi Racing. A second Ganassi car will compete in the Rolex 24 before heading off to run in the FIA World Endurance Championship season.
Yes, Cadillac’s latest model is a hybrid coupe. It costs over one million dollars. And, sadly, is already sold out. Honestly, I think you, the consumer, would be much happier in a CT5 anyway.
To start, it seats five comfortably, not one.
You also get WAY more trunk space. And, if you get the V Blackwing, you get nearly the same power, too.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t cheer on the V-LMDh. Just listen for the GTPs that shout ‘Merica! around the Daytona high banks.
