Ok then. So I'll stick with volks-where-gern or simply vee-double-you. Or maybe @kadajawi will disagree. But he's not here. Yet.

Rilek la bro. No one is perfect in phonetic speech since we're not native speaker of the brand. To-Mae-Toes, To-Mah-Toes why does it matter?

That's different coz that's a matter of accent, english vs. american. But pronouncing Ayamas as Err-Yeow-Mah maybe unacceptable, even for a non-native.
But that's not the point. I'm asking if it is okay to pronounce it right. Not.. is it okay to pronounce it wrong?
In volkswagen case, pronouncing folks-varr-gurn is faggot but Ow-Dee is not? Isn't it unfair?
I was trying to emphasise like how americans exaggerate the 'a' 'uh' sound in an 'o'. Like when wonder becomes one-der instead of won-der. So yeah it ryhmes with 'wonder'. Maybe I should've spelt whupper?

Why is it not right? Who the hell people call other people fag for pronouncing it wrongly? Do you call American, British & the rest of the world except Korean for pronouncing Hyundai wrongly fags?

Why does it matter at all?
