Toyota Crowns All Around

[Anonymous]

So the name of the Toyota Camry comes from the Japanese word kanmuri, which means "crown".

And of course Toyota sells a Crown.

And the Corolla means the crown of petals around a flower!!

A small amusement as I was car shopping — what are these made up names. We always had Hondas, so Pilot, Odyssey, Accord etc, real words somewhat reflective of the car (though I give CR-V some side eye in the name department).

I was always meh about the Corolla name, but the flower petals is nice imagery.

Don’t drive a Corolla now but have had two that worked well into their third decades.

Still love Toyotas - reliable and efficient …
