Default It's owwdee and folksvagen. We pronouce our "v" as an "f" and "w" as a "v"
example: Ich war vier jahre in München gewohnen...
pronounced "ish var fear yarr in Muenchen gevonen"

I know, but at least we Brits get it half right unlike most Americans who get it completely wrong

Default So would mine, but this is a German company name, albeit taken from the Latin.
And for clarity's sake note that the OW sound is pronounced with the mouth rounded as for an O, not smiling with the teeth showing as in a Texas-style OW.
