[LordMorpheus]

Other - jag.

 

[marulee]

[chambersc]

like the british.

jag-you-are.

 

[mugs]

Jag-you-are is the pronunciation that pretentious people use to sound pretentious.

I say Jag-war

 

[Lonyo]

The proper way.

Also, if you invent the car company you get to dictate how it is pronounced.

Not if you name it after an animal which existed long before said car company.

[Zenmervolt]

"Jag-you-wuhr"

It's like saying "Porsh-uh". Jaguar is a British company and should be pronounced in the British manner, just as Porsche is German and should be pronounced in the German manner. Or like how, "Chevrolet", being a French name, is pronounced "Shev-ruh-lay" instead of "Chev-row-let".

[Accipiter22]

Yag-War

 

[Abe Froman]

perhaps it's a soft "J" "Yag-waur"

 

[Atheus]

'jag-waur' sounds like an American drawl, but it's a British car - jag-you-ar for me.

 

[6000SUX]

zhag-ewe-uh. Just like in the ad-vur-tiss-mint.

[secretanchitman]

jag-you-are.

There is a commercial on local radio for a Jaguar dealership. The female narrator has a British accent, and pronounces Jaguar really funny (with 3 syllables). My midwestern ears nearly bleed every time I hear it, but to my surprise Webster's says that 3 syllables is one of 3 proper pronunciations.

You learn something new every day.

Because that is how it is pronounced - not by me, but the car dealership themselves.

Also, the Maybach is pronounced like "My Bock" - NOT "May Back" or "May bach"

[Amused]

3 syllables is correct, but since I'm American, I pronounce it with 2.
