The former.
Mainly because it doesn't have an 'A' on the fucking end, but also because I don't speak like a twat and don't wish to be punched in the face by someone who speaks properly.

It's German, Germans pronounce the 'e' on the end of the word; therefore it's 'Porsche-a'.
Porsche-a is neither German nor English, though. 
In English I say Porsch, in Danish we pronounce it same as the Germans (fourth word in).

Porsch-ur / Porsch-er then I suppose is more accurate; we don't have a letter in English which makes the exact sound of the annunciated 'e'.

If I go to Italy, I don't expect to be called 'Ricardo' or go to France and expect to be called 'Ricard'; my name's 'Richard' and I'd expect to be called that wherever I was in the world.
Porsche is not only the name of the company but also the family and with it being German, its pronounced with the 'e' at the end. Its nothing to do with being posh, its just being correct.
