While we're talking misnomers, I'll agree with the comments on "porsh" versus "por-shuh". But the worst is "Merc". To me, "Merc" is either the division between Ford and Lincoln, or a builder of marine engines...but never a German car company that's based in Stuttgart (I think).
Great post. Thanks for the info, and the laugh.
