It depends on who I'm addressing. If I'm talkikng to another Porschefile, I'll use the two syllable pronunciation. If I'm not, I'll use to one syllable pronunciation so as to not sound snobbish.

Maybe some folks get confused by the different German/european dialects.

The Swiss have a different accent where it might sound like Porsh-ay.
