Do you say “Delica” in the same manner that you say “Celica”?

I do not.

Curiously, if one were to read them in Spanish they should both be read with the stress in the second syllable since they both end in a vowel and have no accent mark . Yet, I have yet to hear anyone pronounce Celica that way.

I do.

Is “celica” usually pronounced with stress on the second vowel rather than the first?

That’s the Brit/Aussie way of saying Celica.

In the US, it’s just SELL-uh-kuh

But for some reason, my mind says “De-LEE-ca” for the van.

Yes. That’s right. That’s how I’ve always heard it said in Australia at least. Not that you hear it said much ;)

My mum actually had 2 of them before she was blessed with twins and had to sell them.

I’ve managed to live in English-speaking communities where the Delica is known even amongs non-automotive enthusiasts, and even decidedly automotive non-enthusiasts, the draw being that it’s more or less a diesel minivan. At any rate I always hear it said “DELL-ih-ca”. In contrast to the common pronunciation  “ce-LEE-ca”.
