I kinda remember reading something somewhere about the German pronounciation being Porsch-ah but that Ferdinand Porsche was Austrian, and he did/would have pronounced his last name Porsh.

"I kinda remember reading something somewhere about the German pronunciation being Porsch-ah but that Ferdinand Porsche was Austrian, and he did/would have pronounced his last name Porsh."

they speak German in Austria!

And any word that ends is the letter "e" , is pronounced as if the letter "a" . short, was added to the word as a separate syllable. so yes it is Porsch-ah. the correct deustche pronunciation.

put you say tomatoe and I sat Toemato!! lol

either way same car!
