What is the correct pronunciation of Porsche?

While the “proper” way to pronounce some German terms in English may be debatable, this isn't one of them.
Porsche is a family name, and the family members pronounce their surname PORSH-uh, not PORSH!
Same for the car.
Porsche's U.S. TV commercials pronounce the name correctly and so should you.

Answer 4

You are both right per say. People pronounce words differently depending on were they come from. If you really want to know the answer to that question, than you should probably ask your English teacher. Good luck i hope you get the answer that you are looking for

Answer 5

Coming from someone that talks Italian, French, Spanish, English, German and some othe langues I would be more inclined to say 'PORSH-uh'...actually, the Porsche family pronounces the name like that.

Answer 6

In German, the "e" at the end of the word, as in "Porsche", is pronounced with an "uh" sound. So, you'd say it like "porsch-UH."

Answer 7

I've heard it on commercials wih the "a" on he end, but I grew up in Northeast USA pronouncing it "porsh", and still do. I think both ways are considered acceptable.

Answer 8

Poor-sha
