How can a car show presenter not pronounce a car brand propperly.
Even mat Leblanc gets it right but why not Chris Evans.
I would like to vomit every time I hear Porsch.
That's just like calling a:
Ferrar
Lamborthschin
Corve
Lotu
Jagua
Mercede
Aud
BM
Tesl
For
Dodg
+1000
shareGuess what, numpty? It doesn't f#cking matter.
...then whoa, differences...
I think the majority of us Brits are always going to leave out the 2nd syllable 'ah' and pronounce it 'Porsh' simply because we don't generally like pronouncing foreign words and names in their native tongue. All of the dozen or so Porsche owners I've known in the uk have without exception pronounced it as 'Porsh'.
I deliberately didn't watch any of the ill-fated Chris Evans series of Top Gear so can't comment on his use of wording but going back to our favourite trio would anyone else agree that Clarkson used to pronounce Aston Martin as 'Astin Martin' and James May would say 'Rules Royce' instead of Rolls Royce?
