OK, a few others and how I say it:

Mitsuoka = Meet-sue-oh-kah
Jaguar = Djag-you-are
Cayenne = Kah-yen
Cayman = Kay-muhn
Scaglietti = Ska-lee-ett-ee
Studebaker = Stud-uh-bay-kuhr (Heard lots of people say Stew-duh-bay-kuhr)

And I just want to find out if I do say Subaru correctly. I say it Sue-buh-rooh, though I've had numerous people argue with me saying it is 'in fact' Sue-baaaaa-rooh. If said that way it sounds to me more like Sbarro than Subaru... Anyone?
