So is it "Folksvagen" or "voltswagon"?

I would rather be part of VW than what happened to Land Rover and now be owned by Tata of India after being raped by Ford and BMW.

In Germany you'll find it's pronounced Folks Vagon (people's car).

When I bought my first Porsche I was living in Wiesbaden. A German friend of mine said Americans will never be able to pronounce the Doktor's name correctly. But, as close as we can come is Poursh-ah, with the emphasis on the first syllable.
