Default if you cant pronounce it, you shouldnt be able to buy it!!

was watching mtv's car version of cribs and each person it seemed either owned/ or were looking at the gallardo.

anyway, all of them, even the car dealers!!! called it

the GUH-LAR-DO. AAAAHHH!!!! sounded sooooo ugly!

now i know how foreign people feel when we americans butcher their words!!

ga-jhardo is a beautiful spanish word everytime they kept saying it, it made me more and more mad.

Gull...lard..doh hehehe... actually in spanish we'd pronouce it "GA-HIAR-DO" :arrow: double "L"s are said like a "J" but sounds more like a "H", go figure where that comes from. Prolly from some 'ol gay priest without teeths or something.

I always pronounced it "LL" as the "iya" sound like in. But a Italian friend of mine who knows a good amount of cars and and is authentic pronounced this ugly ugly way... so I stuck between two words and didnt know what to do... now that I hear this is a spainish word ill stick w/ the plaing simple and flowing "goyardo"

It is pronounced Ga-y-ardo

With the Murcielago it is Mur-thee-a-lago 8)

I went to the Lambo dealership a year ago and this is what all of the sales staff said it like.

Reading the articles in car magazines also helps... the preview/review always gives the correct pronounciation of these names
