  No, I don't think so. The Tuscani is the offspring of Sante Fe (SUV). Right? The Tiburon is the sports car; the number 1 most stolen car in North America.

  You got it mixed up with the tucson, its an suv with no 4wd. The santa fe is a 4wd. The tiburon in oz is supposed a budget sports coupe, and so is the tuscani in singapore.

  It's Porsch-uh. For those who read Merchant of Venice, it sounds like Portia.

  Murcielago is mur-ci-eh-laa-go though I've seen some tv shows pronounce as mur-chee-eh-laa-go.
  
  Gallardo is Ga-jiar-doe, but the j not so harsh, sounding slightly like a Y.
