And no, its not his job to give praise, his is job to sell cars.

So for him to promote Chrysler would actually hurt their net sales. Doesn't sound like a smart move when he could easily just decline the interview all together.

I don't believe he willfully made himself and his company lose money because Chrysler's products are just that good. He's nothing more than a typical pundit. He made money off those words and he doesn't have to believe them to be true or not.
Only time will tell if they really are 'that good' or not. Given their track record and this new lineup is just more of the same bad designs of SUV's and rental cars that no one wants, they will fail again.
