Pretty sure the French say P'er'geot, at least our French friends who have Peugeots say it 'er'. Saying Peugeot how it is spelt sounds totally wrong to me :lol:

No doubt there are different ways to pronounce it in France too.

Down in these parts, those with the local accent tend to pronounce the 'uur' bit of the P'uur'geot from the back of the mouth/throat giving it a deeper sound.
