71 years, but, yeah. I don't remember when Audis were first imported.

How about Porsh-eh vs. Porsh?

Or Ren-oh vs Ren-alt?

EDIT: I've always called it "owdy" but surprisingly, "oddy" as in audible or audit is correct. The name comes from the Latin translation of the name Horch, one of the designers, "audire", to hear.

Also, Audi's ancestor in the 1930s was Auto-Union, so "otto" as in Auto would also support the "oddy" pronounciation.

Mostly Porsh. But Porsh-eh has seen a rise in frequency over the last decade or so.

In the 1960s, us Porsh-eh fanciers called them Porsh-ehs.
