i can understand posting this [because many people make this mistake] but there is really no reason for it to be in 'car gallery'.

I think we really need a native german speaker on hand here - I think the actual company workers call them "Por - Shes" but then the uneducated masses just call them "porsches". Anyone got a definite answer for the pronuciation??
