Detroit Automakers Get a Satirical Look at ‘American Auto’ Sitcom

The new comedy series will be coming soon to NBC.

Are you ready to see a brand new television series about cars? It has been a while since we have had a fun, entertaining drama with cool cars performing wild stunts. This new NBC show doesn’t have many wild stunts. It’s a sitcom so it might be entertaining.

This program is called American Auto. Here’s the premise according NBC.

We have a CEO who doesn’t know anything about cars and a team that doesn’t probably know much about cars. It is hilarious, as it is with sitcoms. The star is Anna Gasteyer, an Saturday Night Live veteran who plays the role of the auto-inept chief executive officer. This is a teaser video that gives an idea of what we can expect. However, it’s a warning for anyone who has worked in the bizarre world of automotive marketing at a major manufacturer. Some might find the discussion on vehicle names in the clip a little too personal.

This 40-second clip is all you will see. Although we haven’t seen any other episodes, NBC has said that a preview will be held on December 13. The Internet Movie Database lists three episodes, with the pilot airing in December.

Is the show going to be popular with car-loving viewers? Let’s just say that this teaser shows us we are waiting for another teaser to draw any further conclusions.
