What does ROW stand for?
 

I think I know what it means; I just don't know what the acronym stands for. Will someone please enlighten me?

rest of world

Rest of the World. There are US versions, then there is the rest of the world.

Actually, there was U.S., Japan, and ROW, at least when your car was new. Plus right and left hand drive ROW, (for U.K., etc.). :cool:

Thanks for the correction.

Wow, that simple, huh?

You would not BELIEVE some of the stuff that went through my head. Prime example of not seeing the forest for the trees. Thanks.

Like what???

While looking at the data that came up on his alignment machine computer I had a service tech tell me that ROW meant the porsches not built in Germany and since I had a US made car (!? I've read of Toysters from Finland but 911's made in the US!?) we should use the ROW settings for my car. It was a long two hours before we got the car done and off the rack. Nothin' like a -vette man.:rolleyes: Jim

Rest Of World includes Transylvania, Shangrila, Upper Volta, Latvia, The Vatican, Lichtenstein, Corsica, Australia and all contries that drive on the wrong side of the road.
Lada has the same classification: All Lada's made in Russia are A1 and some are ROW. That includes the modified version of the non-supercharged Carrera-Lada with the slant, vodka-cooled, short three-stroke, square 4-cylinder, overhead valve version. With 57HP or less, this rocket goes from 0 to 60 in 14 minutes and is used extensively for ice fishing and other frozen-lake activities in the former Soviet Union.
(There are also some around where I live) :rolleyes:

And don't forget up until sometime in the '80's I think we also had US (California) cars with additional emmisions standards.

Oh crap, I didn't check out where most of you were posting from before I said that. Nothin' personal!
