I bought my X in Florida, traded my 350Z for it .. ;(.. I knew we were moving to the front range and that I would want to spend time in the mountains, plus we needed something that would get my wife and I and our two dogs and all our stuff to Colorado.... so the X fit all those needs. It was able to get us here, serve as a DD( not the best mpg for that lol) and handle excursions into the mountains for camping and light off roading. she had a little convertible that we just sold instead of dragging out here, so the X had to work for both of us until we got her a vehicle, otherwise i would have bought a manual, but she wanted auto. its ok, i told her one day I WILL have another Z car.. the 370's are getting pretty cheap these days...
anyways, the name was appropriate as we were "Mountain -bound" when i purchased the X and joined the site.
