On 5th Gear and Top Gear they say Nine Two Eight (they are British though)
but in old Porsche comercials it is pronunced Nine Twenty Eight. I believe that most say Nine Twenty Eight but I am curious to know how people here prounce it. Also does anyone know how they say it in German?

So what is it Nine Twenty Eight or Nine Two Eight?

Interesting

In the UK, OZ and NZ it's a nine two eight.

A 964 or 993 or 996 or 997 is a nine six four thru nine nine seven same with 924/944/968

BUT a 911 is a nine eleven.

Go figure

Never heard anyone call it a nine twenty eight myself. Including at that OPC's.
Guess it is a bit like Porsche and Porscher that some people seem to call it?

I call it 928

928 Is My Favorite Time of Day

Nine Twenty Eight is all I have heard in Philadelphia, of course you don't hear it come up much from anyone. That is unless you're asking what time it is and it happens to be 9:28. It's also my favorite time of the day and my favorite ride of the day!

The German spelling is Neunhundertachtundzwanzig .Also Neunhundertelf .

"Nine Twenty Eight" was used in the United States market. I would assume if the UK, OZ & NZ call it a "Nine Two Eight", then Canada most likely does as well.

I believe it is merely a language difference for the specific market... as in English, "Neunhundertachtundzwanzig" would translate directly to "Nine Hundred Eight and Twenty".

That doesn't exactly roll off the tongue... does it?
