  WRONG!
  
  They should be:
  
  mer-thee-ey-LAH-go, and
  pER-dzoh
  
  Porsche should be pronounced as POR-sher as it's a German marque - so don't pronounce it as if it were Italian.

  Gallardo: gai-YAR-doh
  Alfa Romeo: AL-fa ro-MAY-oh
  Hyundai: HEEON-day
  Megane: meg-GAN (as in 'fat')
  Trajet: tra-JAY
  Arnage: ARHN-age
  Phaeton: FEY-thurn
  Volkswagen: folks-VAH-gen
  Touareg: TOO-rahg
  Presage: prey-SAHJ
  Chevrolet: SHEV-roh-lay
  Daimler: DAIM-ler
  Audi: AOW-dee
  Cabriolet: KAB-brio-lay

  Your right about peugeot, and half-right (or at least I half agree) with Murcielago. I was trying to express it as mur-see-EL-ah-go, with emphasis on the -EL-
  
  I also disagree with your Hyundai; Hun-day is more accurate.
  
  The rest are correct.

  That's not my point of contention; the 'C' is pronounced as if it were 'TH', not 'S'.

  I did more research and you're right. Most accents in Italian do pronouce Cs as THs. I'll do the same in future.

  depends on the country you are in..
  
  Europe and Singapore tend to pronounce it as Por-shay, US - porsh.
  
  just like Coupe... here is Coop-pay... US is coop.
  
  Hyundai - Singapore = hee yoon dai, US - HUN DAY.
  
  Acura - Singapore = AH COO RA, US - a cuu ra.
