Cahhhhhh-ennnnnnn.
You MUST articulate it like famous Cajun Chef, Justin Wilson. At the Summit Point Club race the pace car was generously provided by a local Porsche dealer. It was a Cayenne. Sitting in the stands, it came around the chute. In a stage whisper, I hollered, "Hey, is that a Fow-Vay Touareg?"

Sales are not as good as the BMW "M5", because the blondes with chests can't pronounce Cayenne - or spell it.
