How do YOU pronounce Porsche?

Actually, because of this pronunciation issue (and because of the social stigma of being lumped with Carrera owners) I always refer to it as a "Boxster".

I always pronounce it Porsch-a. I heard since it is a name you should say it as they do in the native language. If it was any other word you are allowed to put your language pronunciation on it.

Now how does everyone pronounce "citroen"??

This one is a little more complicated. Citroën is pronounced something like sit-roh-ah.

English speakers struggle with this one for many reasons, one of which is not understanding what the umlaut (in French, tréma) on top of the "e" does to the pronunciation. An umlaut separates the vowel sounds, think of Noël, the "O" and "E" are separated to sound No-el, rather than sounding something like a word rhyming with roll, if the umlaut were not present.
