The automotive business is one where consumers frequently have difficulty pronouncing brand names in the proper manner. Given that there are numerous well-known automotive brands from regions outside of North America, this comes as no surprise.
In North America, Mazda is most frequently pronounced as “Mahz-duh” and “Mass-duh.” People frequently think that how it sounds in video advertisements is how it should be pronounced, but one must remember that Mazda is a Japanese brand. The word would therefore be pronounced correctly in Japanese. Learn how to say “Mazda” in Japanese by watching the video below.
The film provided insight into the history and deeper meaning of the name Mazda in addition to how to pronounce it. Jujiro Matsuda established Mazda in 1920.

“SUBARU” is a combination of the Japanese word for “unite” and the Greek name for a group of six stars in the Taurus constellation known as the Pleiades. Greek mythology states that these stars are the transformation of Atlas’ daughters.
How is Lamborghini spelled?
It’s not tough to pronounce Lamborghini (it’s “LAM-bor-GEE-nee”). However, certain Lamborghini car names can be difficult to pronounce. First of all, be aware that practically all of Lamborghini’s vehicle titles are actually Spanish nouns and proper names, despite the firm being an Italian one.

This rule has a few exceptions, which we’ll mention as we proceed.
Here’s a quick guide on pronouncing some of Lamborghini’s more well-known car names.
