Lulu the dog says, “Stop Mispronouncing the Names of Japanese Cars.” Grrr…
Hi, my name is Lulu. Yes, I am a dog. Like my picture. I may look like a dog but I know cars. Pay attention and I’ll teach you a think or two. My job is to protect you from making a mistake.
Whether it be a Honda Accord, Toyota Corolla, or a Nissan Maxima, many Japanese cars have become synonymous with reliability, yet most drivers are pronouncing their names entirely wrong! Luckily a YouTube channel devoted to Japanese car modifications (like the ones you’ve seen in the Fast and Furious franchise), clarified the issue. They made a useful video to help us Westerners get their names right. You can watch Mighty Car Mods video right here so you can help your friends and family get it right!
