I used to think Koenigsegg was pronounced Key-nigsegg, but Jeremy pronounced it Kuh-nigsegg.

Pff i say all of them right, can’t believe people are so stupid to change the names by pronouncing then wrong. It doesn’t matter the country you’re in, it matters the car country’s origin

I say Jaguar…But I live in America so everyone judges me and calls me a wannabe Brit. Which is why I usually say JAAAAAAAG!

“Nis-an”. No you silly Brit. You mean “Knee-san”. Everyone butchers other countries names. Brits just have the most egregious offense.

I think in reality, atleast part if not most of the blame is on the manufacturers, the say their own names differently in different countries.
