Ive never sat in a XD, but you could fit a circus act into a XB. A fraternity brother of mine who played in the NFL, technically the World League, drove a XB for awhile. Guy is 6'7", 375. I always thought he was full of it, but I rode in one as a service loaner, and it was huge inside. Im 6'6", 230.

Love the Auto Show, too. Best way to narrow choices on cars before dealing with salespeople.

Ya, definitely a bit pricey.
But also the most "real-life" electrics of anything else available. Depending on how much money you have you can get up to 300 miles on a charge. And it's a luxury coupe, not some econobox.

It's always the last weekend of January - and it starts mid week.

Yes, love that car. Waiting till they get all the bugs out of the first generation and until there are more charging stations around. Been eyeing it though. BTW, saw charging stations at memorial park recently, who knew?

We always go to the show, but for a city as car-crazy (or at least car-addicted) as Houston, it is always a disappointment. The selection is decent, but not nearly as good as the larger shows. Tier 2 for sure .
