not that far out.

Auto Union was the orignal company formed when the four combined and THEN it became the Audi brand after VW took them over. So you were kind of there.

I was under the impression that the blue and white was in reference to the blue and white background of the Bavarian flag.

Yes but he put it in a VW first. So, really the first Porsches got VW boxers.

Well in reality the design was always disputed it was either Borgward or DKW designer who reuptedly actually designed it and Porsche blatantly copied it when he left the company. I've an article on the history, it was only in the last few years that there was an agreement made about it with VW !!!

How about Fox-vaagen, for VW?

How about the Modena? In the US they call it the Mo-day-na, the Spanish way.
In Italian, isn't the emphasis always on the first syllable. Making it: MOde-na?

I have found that sometimes its just better to pronounce in the local accent/norm. For example: LeMans is L'Ma but in the States most people like saying Lay-Manz. If you say L'Ma, either you're not understood or it just creates a little tension.
