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.
Not McElroy, the one that was actually interviewed around the 1 minute mark, Mike Maroone. He's the President and Chief Operating Officer for a dealership network that has more to lose than gain by praising Chrysler. Think about it, Chrysler represents a very small portion of AutoNation sales, they are under-represented compared to their market share. They will likely lose sales to other dealers if Chrysler's market share picks up. He has no good reason to say anything positive unless he believes it. The best move he could make, business wise, is to say absolutely nothing on camera.
