sxi16vjoe - It might do. For instance, would you say you drive an RS Turbo or an Arse Turbo?

Think they meant it to be Ka, as in Car. But it all became so confusing when ya talked about them, people had to say K-A.
With OZ wheels, I would have said it's Auz-Zee, and in Aussie, but, as it's a USA company, and the logo has two dots in it, it's O.Z.....
How many people say Nike, or Nikey, though. Anyone knowing where the name comes from would say the latter....

And, why did DJ EZ use the really common shortened version of 'easy' for his name, when he calls himself Eee-Zed all the time.... very silly....

Depends who I'm talking to - eg, a friend who owned a Ka pronounced it "Kay-Ay" so to be different, I pronounce it "K-ah" (not "k-ar").
In the case of OZ, the capital letters would assume the letters should be said individually, but given that I have no interest in being the norm, I say "ozz".
