    Prius - pree-us
    Oldsmobile Toronado Trofeo - olds-moe-beel Toro-nod-oh Tro-fa-oh
    Pontiac Fiero - pon-tee-ack Fee-air-oh
    Buick Reatta - Bu-ick Re-etta
    Mazda Navajo - moz-daa Nova-ho
    Pontiac Aztek - my car was hit by a train and now it's body turned inside-out.

    OK, a few others and how I say it:

    Mitsuoka = Meet-sue-oh-kah
    Jaguar = Djag-you-are
    Cayenne = Kah-yen
    Cayman = Kay-muhn
    Scaglietti = Ska-lee-ett-ee
    Studebaker = Stud-uh-bay-kuhr (Heard lots of people say Stew-duh-bay-kuhr)

    And I just want to find out if I do say Subaru correctly. I say it Sue-buh-rooh, though I've had numerous people argue with me saying it is 'in fact' Sue-baaaaa-rooh. If said that way it sounds to me more like Sbarro than Subaru... Anyone?
