[QUOTE=986 Girl]I've never had someone ask me how fast it goes, but I'd just say "Fast enough," smile, and walk away.

However, I have had people say "Nice PorSH" to me, often accompanied by a question or another statement. I always just reply, "It's Por-sche, with two syllables," and leave it at that. If they don't pronounce it right, then they don't really care enough about the vehicle to need to ask me a question.

Wow...you're what my dad calls a "snooty" Porsche owner. 99% of the american public says Porsche with one syllable. I guess snooty Porsche owners do exist. I can't believe you correct total strangers.....that's rude imo. Sometimes I say porsh sometimes I pronounce it porsche. Who cares?
