Could some of you guys that have been here a while compile a list of definitions, please.
Some/most of you guys have alot of info, but some of us don't.
So, could we put together a list of things that maybe we all should know, but maybe we don't????
I'll start with the ones I know...
OTIS-Overhead Temperature Information System

Aight, that's it for me....

All I'm saying is that sometime the acronyms can be a bit confusing.
If this is a repost, please point my dumbA$s in the right direction.
Thank You!

IMO - I got no clue but heres my thoughts. I think noone really knows.

I hear that SE, ES, and SXT really mean nothing. Just some term that the factory used when making the cars. What do I know I got 51 post count lol.

SE - Standard Edition (Special Edition is what most say not sure why lol)
ES - Extra Stuff (Euro Sport is what most say)
R/T - Road Track
SXT - nothing (Same EXact Thing? lol)
