    Guess it is just like IKEA which has an English pronunciation different to the way it was meant to be which has stuck. English emphasises the I more. (eye-key-a as opposed to ich-kay-a)

    When I was a kid we had "Nestle's" milk, not "Ness-lay". Peugeots were "Pew-joes" and Renaults were "Ren-orlts".
    Given that we never bought the wrong thing, does it really matter?
    Can I help?

    Skoda and SEAT (pronounced say-at not see-at) are both better put together than VW/Audi.
    The SEAT Leon is faster, better-handling and more reliable than it's Audi sister car. This despite having the same chassis and engine/gearbox.

    I think the Seat Mii leaves the VW Up and the Skoda Citygo behind as well.
