Car terminology peeves.

-Porsche pronounced as "Porsh"
(People don't seem to realize Porsh is short for Porsche)
- Coupé pronounced as "coop" instead of the proper "coo-pay"
-STi as "sty" instead of "s-t-i".

What makes you guys want to eat a gun when talking to other "car enthusiaths"?

Some kid tried to convince me that the Impreza was a different car completely from a WRX, "WRX STi" is not a real car it's either WRX *or* STi, and he also said they never made a hatchback STi.

He owned a brand new '17 STi and clutch burned out @5000 miles on the clock. Can't make this shit up.

>>17595903
New WRXs and STis are different models from the Imprezas

Anyone who calls gas "petrol" and does not live in Europe.

Car companies who have a trademarked or copyrighted name for something like air condition or giving the steering wheel a fancy name

Yes but he knew nothing about Subarus previously and took the brochure the salesman pitched him as fact and law. Straight out denied the existence of something called "Impreza WRX" or WRX STi"

Californian here. I've never heard anyone pronounce "STi" as "sty".

>>17595841
"Coop" is actually the proper way to pronounce it in America. Like how "color" is the correct way for us to spell the British word "colour".
>>
>>17595841
It literally is "pour-shh"
As someone that grew up with family members that made them.

A lot of people call the FRS by the 3 letters which is only partially correct

You see, "FRS" is phonetically EFF-ARR-ASS which is homosexual slang for "shove your throbbing dick in my ass because I'm a huge faggot"

It's pronounced Dau-jey Chair-gère
>>
>>17599099
>its written coup e
It's written coupé though, the accent aigu, or acute accent for you plebeians is there for a reason, not just decoration, it's pronounced /kuˈpeː/. In French a coupe is something different entirely, a cup, and it's pronounced /kup/.
