Pronounce Hyundai as 'hun-day', are they incapable of seeing that there is a 'y' in there, hence it is pronounced "He-un-day"??? It really frustrates me for some odd reason...lol
Also, for the Australian's who pronounce it "Hi-un-die" Please cut it out!

I pronounce it hyundai !
I just bought a Sante Fe, my second Hyundai. What a great bargain!!
Has Monsoon stereo, am/fm/cd/casette, fog lamps, tons of cargo room, roof rack, alloy wheels, 6cylinder, four speed automatic/manual shift, and cost lots less than any American piece of junk out there, I did the research for several weeks and found the Sante Fe to be the best deal in my price range. Tinted windows, cargo net, first aid kit, 12volt outlets it's got it all !!! Plus the dealer gave me a fair trade for my Elantra and they gave me four grand rebate!!! Let me see chevy or ford do that!!! They won't .Loosers!!!!! Americans are still falling for the Apple pie Chevrolet schtick, and the built ford tough gag. LOOSERS !!!!!!!
Ha HA Ha !!!!!!!!

Actually I think we prounounce it
Hun Die
You know it would help a lot of all of you out there spoke only English like the rest of the world does, then we'd get it right.
As for those Australians, they can't even speak English right, just like their British Cousins!
The way we buy those things up, I don't think the home office cares much what we call it so long as we spell the name right on the payment check!
As Shakespear once observered
Rose by any other name....

Oh! sorry but that just isn't possible Americans like to refine every word, so if we say it is pronounced that way, then that is how it should really be pronounced. Because we are always right

It is a peculiar thing to be so frustrated about...I wouldn't lose any sleep over it if I were you. I don't know why they say it like that to be honest, but someone started it somewhere because everyone pronounces it just like that. Who knows, you realize it's possible that they got this from the company themselves? Who knows...

I'm not an american or from Australia either but frickin waaa.They make cars...most who say the name (even wrong) know which company is being referred to .It also depends on which tv promotion that they listen to - I've heard several different ways to say Hyundai and thats from the manufacturer !

Hi. I am an American girl. I will make you a deal, ok? Honest. Just like you, I get so bugged when my English cousin says "seedual" for schedule. In English (our rather uncommon tongue) we don't say "seeual" for school. We say "skool". So it is "skedule" not seedual. Please don't think me rude to answer in this way. I think it is interesting how we hear one another. And, I bet you are kute. :)
