Annoyed by the mispronunciation of "Porsche"

Daxos · 03-11-2017, 12:29 AM

I am so tired of watching comparisons between M's and Porsches and hearing the reviewers calling the car a "Porsh".

It's not a freaking "Porsh", it's called PORSCHE. You don't call Ferrari "Ferrurueh" do you? How hard is it for people to pronounce the name of a car or even brand right?

It's been bugging me a lot recently as I'm thinking of trading my M4 for a 911 and the reviews I've been watching online are from imbeciles apparently.

This is my Friday night rant. Clarkson out :P

Try www.rennlist.com and I'm sure you will find others who are equally aggravated.

JoeyBananas · 03-11-2017, 06:44 AM

So it's Porsh-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa right!

bobblehead · 03-11-2017, 06:50 AM

we shortened it and call "P car"

evdok · 03-11-2017, 07:02 AM

Porka

Who cares. We won the war and we will say it how ever the fuck we want to say it. VW is lucky they where even allowed to exist.

Falafel Combo · 03-11-2017, 08:28 AM

I call it an expensive VW.

Pig Farmer · 03-11-2017, 08:51 AM

So I have a question for the PORSH-uh aficionados... What is the correct pronunciation of Ruf? I've heard a number of people say "rough" and I alway thought it was closer to "roof".

Red Bread · 03-11-2017, 08:54 AM

Do you pronounce AMG correctly? In the German alphabet, it's pronounced Ahh Emm Gay. Makes me giggle every time I see one.

Bah Emm Vhey is the German pronunciation of BMW.

And don't get Brits started on coupé.

Roof is correct, at least according to Ruf employees.

Clarkson might pronounce "Porsche" correctly like in German but his pronunciation of "Mercedes" is wrong.

I think the real imbeciles are people that cant understand that certain name brands are sometimes pronounced differently in different languages.

Where does it stop, do we also roll the R's in Ferrari like the Italians?

We pronounce it correctly for the way it is spelled - Aluminum. You guys can't spell it or pronounce it.
