There's an increasing number of people around my way pronouncing Renault as "Ren-ULT" not "Ren-O"; which is the single most annoying thing in my life (except work) at the minute

That recording sounds american and they speak wrong, also I think it comes down to where you're from/where your english teacher was from etc, I don't think there is any right and wrong.

The only retard here is you for not knowing how to pronounce the letter H properly.
How do you pronounce 'L'?
"ell"
or
"lell"

Why would you say Audi?
Al-Dee. Or All-Dee if the Germans say it.
Admittedly there is some confusion, quite often hear people saying they're getting something to eat from Aldi and think they mean they're going to the Audi cafeteria.
