I remember my aunt pronounced the Maserati Quattroporte as Masirati Kuatro-po-dey....Hahaha...I can't stop laughing....sometimes names like this sound nice to us that can pronounced them correctly but it sounds damn funny when you ask the average people to pronounced them.
I have a chinese customer in ShangHai he tells me wish to own a Ferrari Ezo....I was thinking very hard until I click what he said....Ferrari Enzo......
Wahahhahaa

yeah...I know what you mean, TR.
It's always very tricky to pronounce Italian or French Marques....
Even the same spelling, American and UK would pronounce it different. Example: Coupe. One is pronouced as "koup", another as "koup-pey"
I noticed that china made cars has many keng-chau names. But the performance of the car is far from the names.
Some pronounce Coupe as Coup, some as Couper some as Coup Pey....actually which is the right pronunciation? Coup is the right one![]()
Peugeot = Peujio :hmmmm:
Proton one is the best. Proton Concept cars. Proton Jebat, Proton Tuah, Proton Suprima S, Proton Accordana.![]()
But the Supreme Pizza like not popular. Not many on the road??![]()
hahahah, some cars were given decent names, but the public poke fun with the name....
Almera= Almari
Cefiro= Sei-fei-lo
Proton Saga = Pentan Sagua

Not just car names being "victimised", even motorbike like Modenas Jaguh oso become the butt of the joke.
Jaguh (Champion) sound fantastic, until you ride the bike......with those wannabe easy-rider parts, fake plastic chrome and embarrassing weedy exhaust note.
My retired teacher even says the Jaguh was en embarrassment to be seen riding his Jaguh.
He sold it and bought a Virago. No regrets at all with the Virago.
hahahaha...Proton Juara, but a disaster at the end. Maybe its gonna be a collector item in 20 years time?? hahahah
Juara's looks is unexplainably weird (bordering ugly). A few kids staying at my apartment last time said "Eeeeiii, taknak saya naik Juara. Hodoh sangat"
