  it's pronouced as 'Lamp- bo' not lam-bo. Ferrari is Fer ra ri, not fer la li. i guess it's quite important to noe their exact pronouciation too. just my views =)

  Haha just wondering, did you bring up that Maybach pronounciation because of the latest episode of Entourage?

  If you got listen to Akon's "Smack That" and you paid attention to it's lyrics, he sang about the Lamborghini Gallardo..and he pronounced it Ga-llar-do..I was rolling my eyes when I heard it..He sang about it when he doesn't even know how to pronounce it properly..

  Can't blame actually. Different people from different country will pronounce it
  differently. Depends on the country. Anyone agree?

  It seriously depends on what you are pronouncing..if it's english words, I understand the difference in pronunciation between American and British english..
  
  But when it comes to words that are in other languages, the pronunciation of that word, eg Gallardo, should be respected..meaning we should pronounce Gallardo as Ga-yar-do because this is how it should be pronounced in Italian..we should not pronounce it like how we pronounce english words because Gallardo is not even english..

  Bit off topic, but on a similar note, an interesting topic is how people say the Ferrari model numbers. Was a big discussion topic on their forums
  
  360 - 'Three Sixty' or 'Three Six Zero'?
  612 - 'Six Twelve' or ' Six One Two'?
  575 - 'Five Seventy Five' or 'Five Seven Five'?
  355 - 'Three Fifty-five' or 'Three Five Five'?
  
  etc etc

  Now this is dependent on cultures..like in Singapore, we like to say '360' as 'three six zero'..but to americans and britons, they say it as 'three sixty'..just like Nokia's advertisements..the narrator usually say the model number as, for example 'eighty-eight hundred' for 8800 instead of saying 'eight eight zero zero'..

  Same orange one from that ST article last time where they were demonstrating the practicality of the SuperLeggera and they showed it waiting outside a school for the owners daughter?
  
  Btw, not really allowed to post number platers here. But since that one you posted is slightly wrong, i think its ok haha

  Depends on which way sounds nicer I guess... I'd use 'three sixty" and "four thirty", but "six one two", "three five five" and "five seven five" for the rest... Hehe... kinda realised as I was writing this that all of these have 3 syllables... maybe that's why they sound nice.. hehe... any more than that and it can't go well with "Fer ra ri"...

  yes my post is also OT but i wish to point out that the Canon EOS400D is a better deal for $200 more because the d40 and d40x lack a autofocus motor inside the camera which means that u have to use EF-S lens for autofocus functionility.EF lens u have to manual focus then
