Wow... I wonder if this is an official video from Porsche? Looks like it. Which is a bit confusing because I thought that Porsche didn't really care how we pronounced it as long as we keep buying their cars. ha!

I always thought of it like how we say "Vette" for Corvette or "Chevy" for Chevrolet. But guess is different for the Germans.

Hahaha... That's a real photograph. Can you believe a protester set a perfectly good 996 on fire? Lawd, these people have no heart! hahaha

Lots of people think is because the IMS went and took the engine with it.

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will
be the official language of the EU rather than German, which was the other
possibility.
.As part of the negotiation, the British government conceded that
English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a five year
phase-in plan that would be known as Euro-English.

In the first year the soft "c" will be replaced. Sertainly, this will make the
sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of the "k"
This should klear up konfusion and keyboards can have one letter less.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesom
"ph" will be replased by the "f". this wil make words like "fotograf" 20per sent
shorter. In the third year publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted
to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkorage the removal of double leters which have always ben a
deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the
silent "e" in the languag is disgraseful and should be don away with.
By the fourth yer peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" wit "z"

I have referred to my other friend's cars as the "Subar" and the "Mazd" for a while now. If they can be lazy and leave a vowel off the end of my car, why can't I do the same for theirs?
