any reason?  What does it mean

[Tagiau]

Because this is the year of x's for them.

Cause it sounds better than M1.

It's a SOC, not a American tank.

Well, while it isn't an American tank, it was an early research plane to study the effects of supersonic flight.

'cause someone at marketing taught "eXtreme" was a still a catchy thing.
