Porsh, or Porsha what difference does it make? I could care less how many people pronounce it correctly or not - this isn't the Nat'l. Spelling Bee...

Hey Jim, how ya doing? I am a little surprised by your response! 
First of all, I am not obsessing. I do obsess about stuff, but not things like this. Just observations while watching my 2 picks make it to the Championship game.
I am a bit of a perfectionist...and sense that you too. It's a good thing...I keep telling myself...and whoever else will listen to me.
I would just think that Pontiac would get it right. That's all.

If i heard someone with an american accent say Porsh'a.... I'd call them a douche bag, it just sounds too rehursed and pompus to hear that in SoCal anyway.

Actually, douche, meaning shower, is a two syllable word in German.
Doo-shuh

I saw that commercial. Makes me mad.
Didn't it say "PORSHHH Boxster and BMW X5?"
Wtf? X5? What do these cars have to do w/ anything?

Hi,
Yea, I lean toward perfectionism, but that's me - I pronounce it correctly. Others may do as they wish.
If we're all of a sudden gonna become the Pronunciation Police, there are much greater offenders out there than those who say Porsh...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
