Default I prefer these phonetic spellings...

I think it may be more clear to write "Ah-ooh-dee" as in howdy or ouch, versus "Aw-dee" as in audio.

And, the answer is "Ah-ooh-dee."

Default An Infiniti G20 owner has tried to tell me how my own car is pronounced.

But he has a 4" exhaust tip on 2" exhaust piping and Japanese lettering so he must know a lot about cars.

If you can't hear do you go to an OWdiologist or an AHdiologist?

Default Has anyone ever seen an Audi TV commercial or heard a Audi radio commercial? Don't you think that

the way they say Audi in their advertising is the correct way to say the name? The ads clearly pronounce it "owdi/owdee"

Maybe it really is "ohdi/ahdi" and they just feel like blowing millions of dollars on ads where the name is mis-pronounced.
