Pronounciations of Car Brands & Names
Like we were discussing in Chevy thread, Sometimes, there are automotive brand names which are written something and pronounced totally other way round. Let’s share those interesting names and their pronunciations here which is sure going to do a tongue twisting exercise for everyone.
For Example -: Chevrolet is pronounced as Shev-row-lay Gallardo is pronounced as Ga-yar-do Murcielago is pronounced as Mur-chie-lago Renault is pronounced as Ren-o Drive Safe, 350Z |

Peugeot - The name is pronounced [pø'?o] OR poo-ZHO in French, but typically PER-zhoh in the UK.

Though I don't watch top-gear (Honestly!) but Mur-chie-lago is the correct pronunciation. Or could be both?

I ain't sure about Hyundai but I pronounce it as second one which you posted (There's not much difference actually) and for Porsche, it's Por-sch-ay. How about Volkswagen?
