Default I'm sure it sounds better when it's mixed in with a bunch of other German words
like "die keinziger mein un Porsche-uh der von LEBEN!!!" whereas somebody saying "I took my Porsche-uh to Starbucks" is like running nails across a chalkboard to my ears

Default It's because they aren't German, they drag the e out too long...
Porschuh, instead of Porscha.

so it's a subtle pronunciation, like saying Porsches without pronouncing the "S"?

Default Hmm, My European friends must be messing with me then.
Because they claim it is aww-dee and not ow-dee. I refuse to say it another way, ow-dee is best. LOL
