I think it rather depends on where you are. It 'should' be "Brown" but internationally they themselves use the "Brawn" pronunciation to go with the flow. Other German brands like Adidas and Volkswagen do the same thing. But 'Vee-Dub' sounds *much* better than 'Fow-Vay' (that's 'fow' as in 'how', not 'low') :-) Spaniards have to cope with (phonetically) oobay oobay-doblay. Hey - maybe that's why Volkswagen bought Seat. Colin McKenzie |
