Jerry may well be correct. However; I think I'd feel like I should be swinging thru the jungle on a vine every time I said it!  I have multiple "AHH EE AHHs" and frankly I believe they shoot better then the name sounds! Jim

Actually, the "Maine pronunciation" would "pass" in many Spanish-speaking places.

It's Jag-waar, not Jack-u-hour too. Only by people who pronounce Porsche as "Porsh"! My favorite butchery of Jaguar is "Jagwire". A local used car dealership that specialized in high end sport & luxury cars used to run radio adds where the spokesman repeatedly mentioned Ferrari, "Jagwire" & "Porsh" vehicles for sale. I was always hoping they would get an Iso Rivolta or Bizzarrini in stock so I could hear how he handled those on the air.

Quote: "It's Jag-waar, not Jack-u-hour too." I have heard to pronounced Jack-u-hour by members of the British automotive industry.(see link) Frankly I've always thought that Jag-waar was the American pronunciation. Jim http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/first-drive-jaguars-new-f-448364

Going by the British pronunciation of any foreign word is the sure way to an international incident.
Why do you THINK they had to have so many gunboats back in the day? (The only foreign language they spoke well was Armstrong Vickers.)
Exaggeration and slander, of course, but man, could they mangle other languages when they took them into English. Almost as good as our California "Passerohbuls" for Paso Robles!

The Design Director of Jaguar is Scottish, so he is unable to speak English.
The CORRECT English pronunciation is "Jag you are ".

I was always hoping they would get an Iso Rivolta or Bizzarrini in stock so I could hear how he handled those on the air. Sometime in summer 1967 I recall seeing a Bizzarrini Strada parked on the Via Veneto. It made Stan Mot's Pignatelli look plain. Later that evening it passed us on the autostrada. We were cruising around 100 and suddenly it was like the sun came up behind us and it passed us at what seemed like that much again. Impressive.....
