More like "niece-on". I dunno, why do Aussies call it "niss-un"?

Some words that end in ‘an’ are pronounced like ‘un’, for example ‘American’ so I can sort of understand that

It’s how it’s advertised here. It’s also how the Japanese say it, and Nissan is a Japanese manufacturer. It’s the same thing with Prius; the Japanese pronounce it "Pree-us" instead of "Pry-us."

I’m a strong believer in saying the name as it would be said in it’s home country. That’s one of the big reasons I say "Jag-you-are" instead of the American pronunciation (Jag-wire).

Do you even call a Skoda a "shkodder"?

The British say it incorrectly. The Japanese/American pronunciation is correct.
