How would you pronounce your favorite car brand ?

Check out this video, as I have always wondered the true way to say.....Porsche.

who the **** cares?

that said...it should be like "porsha" but a very soft "uh" on the end. or like you'd pronounce the name of Ellen's girlfriend, "Portia".
but i always just say, Porshh.

"porsha" always makes me feel like im a douchebag, or im referring to a stripper.

What is the longest one-syllable English word? The one that's most commonly cited is screeched (nine letters). But there are also schlepped, scratched, scrounged, scrunched, stretched, and the plural nouns straights and strengths (all with nine letters).
