If they don't pronounce it right, then they don't really care enough about the vehicle to need to ask me a question.
Edit: Oh oh oh, if someone does ask me how fast it goes, I'm actually going to now say "Eh, not very... it just doesn't compare to my Ferrari." and say it very seriously like I'm disappointed. Now I really want someone to ask me. (I don't even like most Ferrari's, but at least the average person will know the name).

Wow, that's just bad. I, myself, even pronounce it "wrong". Like I said in the other thread, when I lived in Germany I pronounced it "right" because that is how everyone did it. Now that I live here I pronounce it "wrong" because that is how it is here.
As for the OP, next time someone asks you how fast the car is just give them the time from your best Auto-X or track run. That should confuse the heck out of them and make for an entertaining experience.
