This bloke pronounces it ee-veh-cochrishodgetrucks.co.uk/trucks/tr … s-450-2008
But I think he’s probably just pretentious
Never found out, as they put POA on all their adverts, I’ve never rung 'em to find out.
ee-veh-co and on subject of how to say different vehicle brand names Seat the spanish car manufacturer pronounced say-ut or say-at
dancompression:
How do you say it?
I say…
‘I’ like the i of italian,
‘veh’ of vehicle,
‘co’ of cola.No prize for the first to post the acronym.
me too i pronounce it properly ee-veh-co and car manufacturer Seat pronounced say-ut or say-at the proper spanish way
Easier to say Ford.
Eight years agonising over pronunciation!

SmashedCrabFace:
What about VOSA?I’ve heard a lot people say VOSA (rhymes with rozzer). But I say VOSA (rhymes with toaster).
Which is the proper pronunciation?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
thats the abbreviation mate.
the proper version is a 2 or 3 word descriptive phrase i.e
■■■■■■ VOSA !!!
or
THOSE VOSA ■■■■■ !!!
Rikki-UK:
I say it like you… but at a recent event I was informed its I- VECK -OH… in Sweden I had the same experience when I was educated by one of the companies men that I should not say SCAN-E-A but should be saying SCARN-EE-R
never had a problem with ERF, Volvo or MAN though
Never had a problem with a MAN? I’ve never decided if it’s all one word, “man” or individual letters “M-A-N”
All I know is ERF is pronounced ‘erf’ cos’ that’s the way they said it on Top Gear.

Correct. 'Ee-veh-co.
Eye-veh-co is how (most) English speakers (wrongly) pronounce it.
“Eye Vecco”
…or is it “Ib Ethffffo” if you’re doing it Spanish style?

Now there’s a question. In Italian the letters are pronounced differently to Spanish.
Italian owned, Spanish built.
All I know is that they fall apart after a while.
Well, Five and Gecko. Take the iv out of five and the ecko out of gecko.
