I tend to agree. When I was shopping for my car I briefly contemplated this scenario. In my area no one pronounces it Porsh-uh and many would consider it snobbish if I pronounced it that way. Usually if I just mention the make I say I own a "Porsh" if mention the model as well I usually say "Porsh-uh Boxster" as it seems to roll of the tongue better. I can't say it matters to me, however I know I'd be upset if people knowingly mis-pronounced my name.
