I say "Jag-u-ar", but then I also say "Nee-san" and occasionally "Ma-tsu-da"...

i thought we all said Nee san.

I can't believe i wasted 5 minutes reading this thread.

It took you that long?

I don't actually know. it was more than a minute and less than ten.

Or maybe it was only a minute but felt like ten.

I was thinking this morning that this topic should be less about Jaguar's pronunciation and more about how the company is almost irrelevant.

Then I saw this:



Hopefully they can price it below the Boxster and start chasing younger buyers.

oh yes. that thing looks amazing. I love the little E-type coupe fastback going on in the back too.

that looks really good! I'm impressed

Just say Jag. Problem solved. Fuckheads.

...most of us do in order to avoid these arguments.

I say Hun-die.

Or at least that's how they pronounce it on the commercials.

And FWIW, i've met members of the Porsche family, and as they pronounced their own name much closer to Porsh than anything else, i'm going to side with them on that one. Noone says Porsh-ah in Europe.

Yay, I win with my initial posts. I think.

Of course that is assuming that we believe that if Penzz did actually meet anybody from the Porshe family that they referred to themselves by name. Oh yes I, Ferdinand Porsche, found your story about shopping in London these days just incredibly fascinating.

It's Jag u ar as the way the English company would pronounce it's own name. It's the pronunciation of a proper name.

Say "Japan".

Did you say it like "Jap-an"? Wrong. You should have said "NI-HON" or "NI-PPON" or something like that, it's how they'd say it.

Ok, say "Spain"... wrong. You're meant to say "espagna'... get my point?

Espagna? you like switched from Spanish to Italian in the middle of the word...Spanalian?

LOL!!!

Nah, I don't have the spanish n with the thingy on top of it so I used gn instead

CTRL+Shift+~+n.
you may have to open Word for that though.
