@Fun TC Driving you are tracking all the papayas Macan on the web, aren’t you?

Not as a plan/process; just posting when I see one in our main “PAPAYA Macan EV Photos” thread.

Life is short . My favourite review line

color is awesome... and the video seemed fair and honest.

"Porsh", "Porsh", "Porsh". So odd that these reviewers can't pronounce a family name - I kinda stop giving their opinion any credence when they keep repeating this. Even Porsche Factory rolls their eyes about this.

 

[Awaz]

“Porsh” pronunciation is far more common in the UK. It was the same even in the Porsche's Porsche owned main dealership. It's sort of become acceptable.
Like, for example, Citroën is often pronounced as citron

95% of the Porsche owners I know pronounce it Porsh, including myself. There's just no way to pronounce it correctly that doesn't make you sound pretentious.

I don't know a single owner who mispronounces it.

It's debatable whether "Porsh" is mispronouncing at all. It's not unusual for words to be pronounced differently in different languages to maintain linguistic fluidity. "Por-shuh" is an odd pronunciation in English and stands out.

Dealer's choice on that one, but certainly nothing to hold against a reviewer IMO.

Agreed, I guess. But my dealership has a person whose job it is to call you after your service visit to ask how everything went. Kind of a service followup. Anyway, our regional Porsche rep got wind that the employee was saying "This is Bob from "Porsh" calling about your recent service visit making sure everything was satisfactory", and asked the dealership GM to help him with the correct pronunciation.

...he no longer calls it Porsh.

But people also say "eck cetera" instead of "et Cetera", so I guess it's the transposed world we live in. It is indeed a family name with a correct pronunciation. But whatever.
