Yep, Owdi and perjoe, but with a soft j'y type sound. Not like Joe the name.

I've heard of Audio TT's though, think they were limited edition or something. rolleyes.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

The number of times people have rang up our house and said i need my Citroen X - antia servicing (my dad was a Citroen specialist) When its really said Zantia, got on my nerves a bit laugh.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

How do people say SEAT?

Do you say SEE-AT?

Or SAY-AT?

And AROSA is it:

AR-OSSA

or

AR-O-SA

Probably not spelt it the way its heard laugh.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> , but ive heard it said a few ways.

I would say Mersh (because there is no 'u' in Hartlepool, we go to werk and eat spicy kerry)-ee-el-argo. More syllables than you would say. Dunno where I've picked up that pronounciation from though.

Audi = ow-di

Peugeot = per-joe (with a soft j)

Renault = ren-ow

Seat = say-at

Arosa = ar-o-sa

Passat = pas-at

Murchielago = mursh-e-lar-go

Same. Apart from I say it "mers-ee-el-argo" - I normally end up picking up the pronounce from car programs and such.

edit:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxaZZ9dyhyU - VBH says it as "mers-ee-alago"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1ZWJjC648I - JK says it as "merch-ee-el-argo"

Seems that we may never know ohmy.gif style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" />

Nicki's got it down exept for Murchielago

Its prenounced Mooth-a-largo (or at least should be) as is Spainish for Bat.

To quote Auto Express about the pronunciation of Murciélago :

"But while you probably won't be able to sample the cabin's many charms, you could always try and impress your friends by pronouncing its name correctly - which, for the record, is 'moor-thiel-largo'."

Ow-di

Per-joe (soft j)

Say-at

Ren-oh (or Ren-ult if I'm being common)

Merci-alargo (or if it's the yellow convertible one in Rochdale - Gayboycar)

Ford Ka, not "K.A."

Pass-at

A-rossa

Obi-wan-kenobi
