In all three cases, I think the answer to this question is “yes” — investors looking for auto industry exposure should find these companies’ stocks attractive.

Industry and the government walk as partners in the story of development. Upholding this very sentiment, the government presented a story of growth in its Union Budget for FY23, with a slew of measures and plans to push industrial growth in India, giving it the edge to walk tall among global economies. The year 2022 stands at the precipice of change for the entire automotive industry across the globe, with disruption visible across quarters.

Jon Barinholtz has a few pertinent thoughts about the state of the U.S. automotive industry.

“There definitely is a scramble right now to figure out what is the next thing. It feels like you’re constantly on the brink of what could be the next big innovation,” he says. “It makes for maybe, in reality, a very hectic and anxious workplace.”

But as fodder for a sitcom, the corporate side of Motor City carmakers “makes for really entertaining viewing,” says Barinholtz, who stars on the new NBC series “American Auto.”

Now it’s time to see whether viewers agree. “American Auto,” which aired two episodes in December as a sneak peek, officially premieres in its regular time slot at 8 p.m. Tuesday.
