Yo Yo, it's da G-fo fo!
sorry, I couldn't resist.....
I tend to agree with the german pronunciation of all of this. Neun vierundveirzig, so nine forty four... however to each their own, just don't call it a civic or an integra or slap a type-r on it, and you're saying it right =)

As to the porsch-e- debate, I believe in german, since the e at the end follows a consonant (sp?), I believe it is pronounced as a hard e, making it sound more like porscha
Although I am still learning German (sorry, only in 201), and I could be incorrect here.
As a rule, I stick to the german way of saying things, or at least how I think the germans would say it.
