How do you pronounce: Jaguar ?

[shobet]

Yeah, but you don't speak english.:ROTF: :ROTF:

And our @ key is in the right place on the keyboard, unless you're a Mac user, like what I is.

[Guitarnut]

I'm English - although various viking/roman, etc invasions over the years may have diluted the bloodstock a bit & my name is Anglo-Saxon origin rather than just Anglo, but - Jag-yew-are. Anything else is just, well, wrong.

[Guitarnut]

Oh, and my last name might be a Welsh derivation, so, you know, whatever....

I'm sorry for my remark. But where did the "J" come from? I have a lot of Welsh in me from my Mum's side.

[Rsmacker]

Yes Ford still owns them and yes... most look like dressed up Taurus'.

Not proper Jags, only the abortion that is an X-type. <spit>

I love 'em, I have an old white Series 2 for sunny Sunday afternoons, and an XJ8 for day-to-day. It's like having your balls caressed by an 18yr old nympho.

And it's pronounced Jag-you-ar.

Or Shag-you-ar.

[fett]

pronounced Jag-you-ar.

Or Shag-you-ar.

That is the only other way.

[El_Kabong]

Just say JAG when you go down there. They will understand.

Judge Advocate General?

I've never cared for them but last year my dad scored a 96 XJS convertable with 140K on it with a rebuilt motor from the original owner with all the Jag trunk candy for $6000, he kept it for 6 months and made $5k

So Fett look for Jags at yard sales this weekend lol

Ja-gwar.

Ja-gwar: North American
Ja-gyu-ar: UK

The automobile is produced in the UK...

(Porsche) Is it a 'Porsh', or a 'Por-sha' ?

[Carbuff]

Yeah, its a word, ya know, the cat. So however you pronounce the word at the zoo is how you would pronounce it at the dealership.

(Porsche) Is it a 'Porsh', or a 'Por-sha' ?

It is 'Porshuh', because it is named for a man (Ferdinand Porsche) and his name was/is pronounced the German (Austrian) way. I hate it when I hear it pronounced with just one syllable.

[El_Kabong]

I have never heard it pronounced, 'Pors-huh'.

There's a jaguar dealer up the road from me would you like me to ask them?
jag-yoo-ah is how i say it, probably cause i live in the Midlands...the same as the Welsh guy says depends on the accent.

[Snoogans]

I'm in the Westcountry, where we say Jag - yew - ahrrrr.
