Both are wrong but porshah is really awful. My German relatives cringe every time they hear it.

The guy's first pronunciation in the video I linked is closest to the German pronounciation, and it's the way I say it, having lost my German accent long ago.

I pronounce it Porsch-uh, but my years of German in middle and high school say it should be Porsch-ay.
In the German language, the vowels should be pronounced as such:
a - ah
e - ay
i - e
o - oh
u - ooh

shortcutting the pronunciation "porsh" for porsche is an abomination and lazy english(?!) or deutsch ( whatever ).
though a mercury can be still referred to as a merc, while a m benz cannot. unless of course one is wearing the hood ornament around ones neck.
