Umm...dumb question: Proper pronounciation of "Fuchs"
Question that I had for a while. It's so simple, that I never did find out a definitive answer. My brother pronounces it one way, I pronounce it another, I just met another Porsche guy who pronounces it even more differently. So is it "F-Uh-chs" or is it "F-Yoo-ks" or is it "Foo-Chs"

The last one (like "Dukes" with an "F").

It's the German spelling for the word Fox, so you just over pronounciate the "o" so it sounds like Fooks.

I've heard that it should rhyme with "books".

Rhymes with "Luke's".
But I pronounce the "ch" like I'm hocking something up, without the glottal rattle.

Hmmmm...
I sort of mumble the name, especially in front of women. One never knows how one might be construed when their pronounciation is a tad off.
