    Quite correctly, since that's the way it's pronounced locally, even by the guy who owns it :) It's not in France, after all.

    Audi - A in Deutsch - "aahh"
    U " " " "" " " " - "oooh"
    D "" "" "" " "" - "day"
    I " " " " " " I - "e"
    = Ow-di

    VW = "fou" as in foul "vay" as in vain Fow-Vay

    No, because that means I'll have to pronounce audio as Ow-Dee-oh ... and wear socks on my hands and gloves on my feet. :(

    Depends on the language of origin. If it's Latin as I suspect Owdeeoh would be correct
