whelp, i am not going to act high & mighty here....i acutally pronounce it both ways...kinda depends on who im talking to and if i remember the correct way! LOL
I have always known Por-Sha to be the "Correct" way to say it....but to be honest, kinda felt like a snob saying it like that around certain peeps......is that weird?

honestly, its like a manly drink...a real man doest care...
In America, Porsche can very well be said Porsch, in Germany its Porschuh...it really doesnt matter THAT much...
and Im a fanboy of using German in English...I personally say PorschUH...but I dont get bent out of shape when someone says Porsch

Exactly. Its the same when saying "moet" as in champagne. The correct way is obviously " Mo-et " but you feel like a dork saying it like that so depending on who it is, i will say it the commonly said way " mo-ay".

The itinerant painter re-appeared at the front door carrying a soggy brush and an empty paint can. He says to the house owner, "OK, Mister, I'm finished. But, just so you know, that ain't no Porch, it's a Maserati!"

wow, a lot of pompous people on here. I've always known it to be Porsha, but many people who aren't privy to the car world won't know what you're talking about, so I often refer to it as a Porsh. To the guy who said you don't deserve a Porsche if you can't pronounce it, wow you are one arrogant SOB.
