I learnt how to pronounce Porsche the same way as Jeremy Clarkson did in Top Gear but that made me an Alien among my friends (Don't act angmoh/act atas la). As Porsche originated from Germany, the Germans pronounce it as Por-sha, British and Americans mainly Porsche as it is and local (Singaporeans) say Por-Shayyy. And I just realized I've been pronouncing Volkswagen wrongly my whole life. "Volkswagen: We said earlier that Germans turn their 'w's into 'v's. Well, their 'v's also become 'f's. What the eff, right? So the biggest German carmaker is folks-va-gun, with that last syllable a clipped enunciation of "gun" (as in pistol). If you're keen to get a job with the new local distributor, get the name right: folks-va-gun." Pagani Huayra - Jeremy Clarkson & co has stumbled over the Huayra many times and hates it. According to Horatio Pagani himself, it's "why-air-ra". Latio - For me it's La-Sio instead of La-Tio Audi - It should be Ow-Dee, not Aw-Dee Other commonly mispronounced names: Peugeot Tuscani Hyundai Volkswagen Touareg Nissan Qashqai Renault Citroën Koenigsegg

we know that the new Evo is label as Evo X. but how do you pronounce it? do you pronounce it plainly as Evo "X" or Evo 10? this could be the last model of Evo produce and the first with auto gearbox(leave out the evo 9 wagon). is "X" a special name given or plainly named after its predecessor Evo 9?
