Read this whole thread and still can't figure out how to say anything.
From what I've figured, AUDI is meant to be pronounced ORGY (except with a D).
PAGANI is actually meant to be pronounced MAHONEY (except with a P at the start).
And COUNTACH is actually meant to be pronounced like BOON-DOCK (except with a C at the start)
I think I'd rather be deaf, some of you lot are batty!

you kidding me...once again, do you know Paganini? if not, rent a copy of Hunt for the Red October, and then you'll know hot to pronounce Pagani (as it is the same but without the last "NI").
Countach is pronounced like "coontouch", and it's a Piemontese dialect word, no way you could find the right way to spell it without knowing it first.
Audi...damn, the only good thing about the Italian language is that we pronounce words exactly like they are written (from our point of view that is).
A like "bat", U like a double "O", D, and I like "lamborghini".
If you can say decently "lamborghini" then I don't see the problem with Pagani.

It's strange, I always thought Audi was pronounced load of overpirced and overated rubbish.

LOL "the people working on the Mucielago are our best specialists" no offense to the misfits we've got working on the Gallardo.

Lamborghini's boss can't speak Spanish properly.
EDIT Rob, Maybe something to do with the car I almost had?
