You've Probably Been Pronouncing All These Car Brands Wrong
Have you been pronouncing these car brands correctly? This video compares how Brits pronounce these major car brands to how people from the country of origin say the same names. You'd be surprised by the difference...
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

I used to think Koenigsegg was pronounced Key-nigsegg, but Jeremy pronounced it Kuh-nigsegg.
Dude! Its obviously koeniseggeggeggeggeggeggeggegg! (Jk, jk)
I used to pronounce it ko-eneggsegg
It’s actually Königsegg..
for almost a year i never saw the first G so i pronounced it “Kern-izeg”
Its Kuh-nigsegg
Yes I get it all right. Except the Mercedes tho. It’s quite hard
Try Mercedes-Benz 😉 Google Translator tells you how
Least I say Porsche right… xD

Königsegg, not too difficult xD
Pff i say all of them right, can’t believe people are so stupid to change the names by pronouncing then wrong. It doesn’t matter the country you’re in, it matters the car country’s origin
And then there are the people who say Jagwar instead of Jaguar
We do not speak of those people.
Im American and i dont like it!
I say Jaguar…But I live in America so everyone judges me and calls me a wannabe Brit. Which is why I usually say JAAAAAAAG!
“Nis-an”. No you silly Brit. You mean “Knee-san”. Everyone butchers other countries names. Brits just have the most egregious offense.
Or jagwire everyone should just say jaaaag in a posh English accent instead
I thought Americans didn’t say the e on Porsche
Americans say Porscharrrrrrrr
That’s the Da - Chia Sandero!
You needed this for reference?
It is Dachia,not daycea.

I think in reality, atleast part if not most of the blame is on the manufacturers, the say their own names differently in different countries.
In Germany we normaly don’t say Volkswagen, we only say VW, enter it in Google Translator and listen to it, i can’t do english lyrics …
FW xD
German bloke said /bee em vee/ for BMW. Does it make /vee vee/ for VW?
