Okay to end this arguement once and for all. One thing you guys have to understand about the German language is that German Vowels are not pronounced like in English. The Germans actually pronounce an "E" like an "A" as in Apex. With a name like Porsche the e at the end is spoken not like an "A" as in Alpha but tails off like "eh". Its the "Sche" that gets spoken and not the "E". The word splits into POR and SCHE.

Just to confuse you a German "I" is pronounced like an "E" in English. Put the two together and you change the sound. EI is pronounced like EYE and means egg.
Even worse an english "W" is like a German V and a German V is pronounced like an English F.
My advice is just enjoy ze German Cars
