Again, I think every P-owner knows how to pronounce it, some of us just "choose" to pronounce it porsh. To me it's a porsh, can't bring myself to say "I have a porsha." Just doesn't work for me.

If you or anyone else thinks that makes me unqualified to own a "PORSH", maybe I'll sell it and buy a "Jagwar"

Consider that is is a real person's name (Ferdinand Porsche). It is a matter of knowledge and respect. After all... Do you like it when people mispronounce your name???
