Have you been pronouncing car brands correctly? We get it, the various languages around the world often lead to ongoing arguments over the “proper” way to pronounce a car brand’s name.
While some brands like Ford, Honda, or Fiat aren’t as tongue-twisting as pronouncing Citroën, there are also many who have full confidence in the way they pronounce other brands like Porsche, Audi or BMW. For instance, many believe that the “correct” way to pronounce BMW is the way someone expresses those letters in a given language. For the native speakers, the ‘w’ is pronounced as ‘v’ hence it is pronounced as “Bee-em-vee” rather than “Bee-em-double-you”.
