I wonder if Jeremy Clarkson has ever bitten the head off an American who pronounces Porsche without the e?

 

[Shadow Wolf]

They just tried to kill a Toyota truck. They abused it. They battered it. Drove it down concrete stairs, whack it with a wrecking ball, dropped a cravam on it, drop it from a crane, wreck it into a tree, crash through a shed, drowned it in the sea, set on fire, set it atop a skyscraper being demolished, and despite all that remarkably they failed to kill the truck. Basic tools, some WD-40, and they still drove it into the studio to show it off.

I pronounce it without the e, its the English way. It seems sounding the e became a fad in the late during the Thatcher years. German friend's say the e should be pronounced "eh" so i am loath to admit it but Clarkson has a point

I thought hanging on in quiet desperation was the English way.

The last time I was an auto-mechanic, it was at a Volkswagen, Jeep, Audi, Porsche dealership. There were 2 buildings, I worked in the Volkswagen/Jeep dealer. As for Porsche, pronouncing the 'e' and without the 'e' was interchangeable

They put the "toy" in Toyota.
Those things are too small & light to haul much.
