In case you still pronounce "Porsche" incorrectly.....
"What is the correct pronunciation of Porsche? While the "proper" way to pronounce some German terms in English may be debatable, this isn't one of them. Porsche is a family name, and the family members pronounce their surname PORSH-uh, not PORSH! Same for the car. You don't say NYKE for Nike, so don't be lazy and leave off the e in Porsche! Porsche's U.S. TV commercials pronounce the name correctly and so should you."<ul><li><a href="http://german.about.com/library/weekly/aa020401b.htm">reference</a></li></ul>

Then there's that American song....:
My friends all have Porsches, (prn: porshiz)
I must make amends,
So Lord, Won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz...
No "uh" sound at the end of that one!
Best wishes,
Ram
