Anybody know why the late 60's / early 70's corollas and sprinters have been nicknamed "mangos" ??? I feel like I'm missing somthing obvious here...

Hah the body shape of course. Actually im looking at my friends Green Mango Productions pictures and im looking at my Mango tree outside
 Mango is a fruit and the TE rollas have the same shape. im sure there's another story on the name out there. This post has been edited by 808celica: Aug 6, 2009 - 8:09 PM -------------------- I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island

Thanks! I totally did not make the connection until I looked at them side by side- they really do look like mangos!
