Well, if we're going to get technical...

Porsche is a family name, and the family members pronounce their surname PORSH-uh, not PORSH! Same for the car.

I agree, you don't deserve to own one if you cannot pronounce it

Agreed. Alot of times saying porsch rolls of the tounge better during a sentance. Its just like saying Stang or lambo to me. It is porscha but it flows better at times to say porsch.

I think to many people flip out over it. Im pretty sure almost everyone knows its porscha but just say porsch since its quicker to say.
