I think it might have been a Toyota habit way back when to name their cars after bits of flowers, Corona, for example is also the name for a part of a flower.
Avalon I think means "dead flower".

No, the original was correct, its just that not many people would "avalondrive" ... they wouldn't even "avashortdriveroundtheblock"!
