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 …
