Ever heard a british person say 'Jaguar'?

[aphex]

Hahahahaha, that commercial while watching conan was great...

"Jag-u-er"

 

[UNCjigga]

More like "jag-ooh-wah"

 

[Supermercado]

Hahaha, yes. I nearly died laughing when I first heard them say it that way. *wonders if everyone should say it that way since Jaguars are British......*

 

[Jzero]

If you gave me one, I'd say it however I was told

Jag-yoo-aaah....yes dahling, I drive my Jagyooah in the rain and my Aston-Mahhhhtin in the faih weathah.

Eh, they're American now Ford owns 'em.

Eh, they're American now Ford owns 'em.

And the build quality has been greatly improved.

Jag-War

Yeah, it's all about education I guess, too bad you people were never taught proper English

 

[Amused]

Both pronunciations are acceptable:

(jag'wär, jag'yoo-är)

 

[Kadarin]

It sounds almost as funny as a French person saying "schedule" (shedule)..

 

[Scuttle]

I've always said it like the yoda impersonation. Jag - You - Are.

Darn public education not teaching me how to pronounce car names...instead I had to learn MacBeth.

 

[Bulk Beef]

Ugh!! Thats horrible! Where the hell does the 'W' come from?

Probably from the same place as the "F" in "lieutenant".

Touche!

 

[skace]

Uhm, I pronounce it as Jagwah.

It flows much nicer than Jagwar or Jagyouare. Both sound like you are retarded.

 

[Tiger]

Anybody else think the new S type looks like it got punched in the nose?

To be honest everyone seems to think its either of those two. No one that I know pronounces it either way, instead Jag-you-er.

if the build quality has greatly improved, why do 1997-8-9 jag-you-ah xk8's go for about $25k? new it goes for $80k... only reason i could think of was that the owners have to repair them so much they're willing to basically give them away.

i mean, 1997-1999 bmw m3's go for at least 60% of their old retail still and they're quality cars...
