If Texas screws their first big company, no other company will even consider Texas. I think it’s a reasonably low risk move.

The hail and shopping cart resistance is one reason. Efficiency appears to be better than my X is another. And people around here just like trucks.

My friends are always amazed at the turning radius of my X. It’s smaller than their PT Cruiser. (The S was the same)
