I completely agree with “who cares, say it however you want”, but there is a correct and incorrect way to pronounce it. Porsche produced the video above, and the manual referenced above. That is how they pronounce the name of their company. Any other pronunciation is incorrect, regardless of opinions to the contrary. That being said, who cares? Call it whatever you want, it’s just a car.

I like going to the local PCA club and calling my cars "Porsch" vs. Porsch-A just to mess with them. Some are okay, but most are rich guys that don't work on their cars. I feel in US English, we can call it "Porsch".

I work for Porsche (they are our customer)
They freak out when you say Porsha... Actually it sounds almost like it is written "Porsshe"

If you understand what car someone is talking about when it's pronounced either way, then it's not worth worrying about.
I always said "Porshhh" but when I got older and found out how Germans say it, I try to remember to say it "Porsha".

Start here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_family
the last link in the Referenced section points to here: https://www.gerritspeek.nl/porsche/g...01/pg.htm#BM17
On that page you can find the baptismal records of his great grandfather Antonius, born to Wenceslaus Porsche in 1778. https://www.gerritspeek.nl/porsche/g...anton1778.html
It’s Porsche. 😀
