Actually, I think that "Camry" was a bastardized version of the japanese word for crown. "Kamuri," or something like that.

I like the way japanese auto companies insist on using english letters like "L" and "V" that don't translate correctly back into japanese. They have Honda Cibics and Prerudes, Nissan Silbias and Skyrines and Toyota Cororras and Cericas.
