The car that refuses to die, out of spite and excellent engineering.

means The ring of petals that forms the showy, often colorful part of a flower, collectively surrounding its reproductive parts.

from From Latin 'corolla,' meaning 'little crown' or 'garland' — a diminutive of 'corona,' meaning 'crown' or 'wreath.' Botanists borrowed the word because petals arranged in a circle around a flower's center do resemble a tiny crown. Toyota borrowed it right back from the flower shop, which is why a humble commuter sedan carries a name meant for garlands and royalty.
