im going to go with I-bock and tIne. how about enkei? ive heard N-key and on-KI.

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
Eibach is Eyebock and Tein is Tayne.

Enkei is inkie

Someone tried to tell me Celica was pronounced sell-EEK-ah. Is this bull? He said that was how the Japanese pronounced it; he was from Wales.

lol there was a whole thread a few months or so ago on how celica is pronounced. its sell-ihh-ka as far as im concerned, and nobodys going to tell me otherwise! tongue.gif

it would only be sell-EEK-ah if it were spelled celeica or some retarted thing like that
its Celica to them simply because of different cultures...

In Japanese, Celica should be pronounced as SE-RI-KA for sure. As I study Japanese and import parts from there. wink.gif
eh... i've always pronounced:

celica as sell-eeka
eibach as e-back
tein as tein (um.. like saying sky in mandarin)
enkei as en-key
but i always called greddy greedy. hah

I think if the person pronounces Celica as Sell-Lee-Ka... he must be speaking Engrish.

BTW, Celica in Cantonese is See-Lick-GAH.

I always pronounced Tein as "Tea-in"
eibach as "eye-bach"
Greddy is just that.... greddy

( I hate when people spell it "Greedy".. I want to hit them and throw them in a hole)

I say it "sell EEK ah", just because it sounds sleeker smile.gif
This thread is hilarious.

Everyone from Canada says "selEEKa" for some reason, at least Quebec.

Okay how about this one: Arias. Or, how about the Toyota "Paseo", how do you say that?

hold on a second... isn't apexi technically just "A'PEX"!?!?!? since the "i" stands for Integration!?!?

for example: A'PEX Racing Co., A'PEX Communications?!?!

I'm lost..
