I LIVE at the border, and there are a mere handful of XFs here. Even the local Chryser dealership never really carried them and you see a random one at other dealerships as trade-ins. There are sometimes what look like convoys of car carriers heading south on US77 heading for the border.

That being said, it seems odd that the Houston dealership has such a large number of XFs, though it would not be a big stretch to think that they hope that the rumored demise of other car makers' preformance two-seaters (I read somewhere that the S2000 and the Solstice are on the way out) would mean that those potential buyers would give the XF a second look. Otherwise, I can't see how a dealership can afford the overhead in keeping all those cars clean and safe in the dealership.
