Pretty much (with a soft j).

Then again, that's the only way I've heard it pronounced.

pø - as in pew almost - rounded /e/

o - as in jhoe almost (not much of an English variant of the sh/zh type sound, mix of joe and show)

pew joe, poo show. Take the two, mix 'em together and you almost got it


Kinja'd!!! sm70- why not Duesenberg? > Denver Is Stuck In The 90s

This is pretty much perfect:

As opposed to the American "Poo-zho" or the British "Pur-zho"

I first saw this brand in Gran Turismo, circa 1999. I was calling it Pug-ot. I was 14.

Now I say Poo-joe, without a hard "J"

Top Gear pretty much massacres most non-English names, possibly intentional in some cases.

Throw in another debate or two about the pronunciation of coupe and Porsche, among other things.
