GM Surprises With Record 2022 Earnings Of $14.5 Billion

General Motors has exceeded expectations as the company posted fourth-quarter revenues of $43.1 billion as well as earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $3.8 billion.

As a result, the company finished 2022 with $156.7 billion in revenue and record earnings (EBIT) of $14.5 billion.  While that sounds good, CNBC noted the company’s net income and profit margin fell, while they also ended up spending $511 million in the fourth quarter to buyout Buick dealers who didn’t want to embrace EVs.

GM Surprises With Record 2022 Earnings Of $14.5 Billion

Looking into the future, the company is expecting “core auto operations to perform at a consistently strong level in 2023.”  In particular, they’re expecting earnings (EBIT-adjusted) of between $10.5 and $12.5 billion this year.  The company is also expecting earnings per share of between $6.00 and $7.00.

In a letter to shareholders, the company said they “delivered results that truly set us apart from our competition.”  It went on to say, “GM led the U.S. industry in total sales and delivered the largest year-over-year increase in market share of any OEM, thanks to strong demand for our products and improved supply chain conditions.”

The company also noted record sales for the Chevrolet Bolt and Bolt EUV, which were the best-selling mainstream EVs in the second half of 2022.  GM says this shows the “importance of affordable EVs in our portfolio” and said they’re planning to increase production of the models this year.

Speaking of EVs, GM noted 2023 will be a “breakout year for the Ultium Platform” thanks to the launch of the Blazer EV, Equinox EV, and Silverado EV.  GM also said they’re “accelerating production” of the Cadillac Lyriq and GMC Hummer EV Pickup, which will soon be joined by a new SUV variant.

Of course, EVs are only part of the story and GM noted spring launches include the redesigned Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon.  They’ll be joined by the facelifted Silverado HD and Sierra HD.

Gearhead Nirvana: We Visit Porsche’s Atlanta Workshop Where Classics Get Reborn

Image
Maintaining any car is a duty that different owners approach in vastly different ways. For some, a few zip ties and a rattle can of spray paint is good enough. Far on the other end of the spectrum are owners like the ones who take their car to the Porsche Classic Center in Atlanta. During our trip there to see the new Macan EV in virtual reality , we had the opportunity to tour the Classic Center as it was deep in the midst of multiple repair and restoration projects.  To the owners of these cars and to the Porsche brand itself, what these mechanics, technicians, upholsterers, and painters are preserving is heritage. The center’s mantra “As good as new. But with even more character” is on display for anyone who visits the site.

The New Honda Prelude Will Be A Global Model, But It Won’t Be A Toyota GR 86

Image
Last month, Honda rolled out the red carpet for the the hybrid Prelude Concept , heralding the comeback of a historic name in the motoring world. Now, this car has been given the green light as a global model, set to cater to both right- and left-hand drive markets. However, it might not quite rev up to be the full-throttle sports car many enthusiasts were anticipating Despite being labeled a concept by Honda, the car presented at the Japan Mobility Show (JMS) looked quite production-ready. And if we know anything about Honda, they have a knack for unveiling thinly-disguised production cars as concepts. Take the last two Civics, for example. The 10th-gen Civic Concept was more or less the Civic coupe of that generation with a more aggressive stance and altered bumpers, while the 11th-gen Civic Prototype was virtually the same sedan that made it to production.

As Good As New Porsche 918 Spyder With Just 43 Miles Could Fetch $2 Million

Image
This Porsche 918 has been kept in a climate-controlled storage facility ever since it was delivered. The car is one of just four Hong Kong-spec 918s in existence. Driving the hypercar is a 4.6-liter V8 hybrid powertrain with 887 hp. A 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder that has never been registered will be available at a Hong Kong auction running from April 2-5 and is expected to sell for between $1.5 million and $2 million. The 918 Spyder launched as one of the ‘hypercar holy trinity’ alongside the Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1. While there are many low-mileage examples out there, few are thought to have been driven less than this one. Over the past decade, it has been driven less than 70 km (43 miles) and has been owned by a single person in Hong Kong. It has also never been registered for road use. The listing doesn’t specify how the car has racked up 70 km without being registered. Read: This Porsche 918 Is One Of Just 2 With A Gulf Oil Livery Nevertheless, this car i...
