Default How do you pronounce the following words?
Audi >>> I say Aww-di

Oettinger >>> I say Oatinger (I am not sure about that one)

Abt >>> It is Ahh-bt not A-B-T

Porsche >>> It is Porsch-A

Is it Lamborghini Coun-Tock or Coun-Tosh? Jason?

Any others?

Default You forgot the best one!!
The name of the town in Hungary where our TT's are assembled: GYOR (Should have umlauts or something on the "O")

Pronounced: JCHURR (hard "J" sound and rolled r.)

As told to me by a Hungarian. Hard to describe here.

Audi should be: OWW-DEE not AWW-DEE. (Unless you want to sound like a hick. :-)

Default Old High German from Latin derivative for approximately" Listen Closely". :)
Particularly useful at the end of ALMS events when the R8's sweep and the crowd erupts or in yesteryear when an Eberhorst designed supercharged V16 D type passed its rivals under full throttle. What's this nostalgia crap?

Default Oh ya, it's just that most Americans say AW DEE, in this case I think they should say OW DEE where
..as I can't complain that people don't say BAY EM VAY for BMW or FA VAY for VW. JIM
