How do you say "Mazda?"

[eting_pro5]

I wanted to know if this was a local or a national thing. There have been a bunch of CX-7 commercials were the voiceover prounounces Mazda real weird. He says it so that the 'Maz' rhymes with Taz (Looney Toons character!).

Anyway, it's definitely noticeable. Has anyone else seen these commercials?

It's definitely not an accent. It's mispronunciation. People who have no connection to Mazda at all were talking about how weird it is.

[Dimitrios]

Blame the Canadians.

Mazda not Mauzda

Funny

"While television ads for Mazda automobiles in the United States use a pronunciation where the initial vowel sound is similar to the word "mod", Canadian Mazda advertisements pronounce the company's name with the initial "a" sound of the word "can". "

PROPER pronounciation would be rhyming with Taz

Like Tazmania

Mazda

Yup, as it apears only the States go by Sounding like Mauzda, or maus-duh, for no aparent reason.

Zoom-Zoom

On topic I say it as Mauzda.

It's the way it's pronounced in other parts (or the rest) of the English speaking world - ie. England, Australia, Canada, etc... It's strange to hear it pronounced that way when you've heard it the American way for so long. I say who cares. If it's a mispronunciation then we are the ones mispronunciating ( I know that's not a word) it.
