So funny how these come across when you're used to them! Vauxhalls didn't sadly come from Vauxhall but rather from Luton (& I think no longer in existence?). "Random car" is a Seat, pronounced Say-At ... Italian, I think? Citroen is a French car so they say Sit-ro-ennn but Brits says Sit-trun.
Vauxhall is still around but like Ford sales have plummeted in the UK. Vauxhall is now owned by the Franco-Italian car giant Styllantis (I've butchered the spelling) HQ in Holland which means they look like Citroëns and Peugeots
@@larimichel4250 Vauxhall is a British brand which GM purchased in 1925, and took 100% ownership of Opel from 1929-1931, then later merged the two brands. In europe the cars are called Opel and in the UK its Vauxhall. However, as we get both Peaugeot and Citoroen cars as well as Vauxhall we can see its the same car but different branding. So I am guessing the cars are now made somewhere in France
They were originally from Vauxhall in London but after two years (in 1905) they moved to Luton due to lack of space. They still manufacture Vauxhalls in Luton to this day.
Most Brits would say Say-at. Normally I wouldn’t give us Brits much credit for pronunciation but I haven’t heard See-at before. Then again, in this country nothing surprises me 😂
@@Noor28282 dunno everyone I’ve heard in the midlands says it a mix but I hear Sea-at more. There’s an ad from 2015ish that says “say-at” but the rest are just music for the 5th gen 😂. Ai online says it’s “Seet” 😂 so just as long as your not saying seat as in a chair your fine 😂
Only if he ventures outside London. Don't forget, British are quite the minority in London now. And everything, like, your restaurants, shops, public transport etc is COMPLETELY different down in London. It's a bubble. Apparently you can travel all day with one low fee on your oyster card down there. I'm not far from Manchester. All the transportation is privately owned and run. So, you need to buy one ticket to go into one direction and in doing so, if you cross a "border" into another area that operates a different service, you then need to pay again. When my car was off the road, what used to be a 8 minute drive over a hill, turned into a 4 hour, 4 bus 4 fayres round trip and £22.40 a day. Also, things down in London are open 24hrs quite often. Where I live just outside Manchester, everything is closed by 10pm max. Even central Manchester, most things will be shut by 11pm of a weeknight.
Wait untill he sees an Austin or a Morris Minor Estate, or an original Mini, there are still a few around. When I was in America in the 1990s, I was asked if Hillman was still around, as the guy had been stationed at a US Airforce base and bought one
Hillman was part of the Rootes Group Hillman, Humber, Singer and Sunbeam bought by Chrysler which also owned Matra , Simca and Talbot. Chrysler sold to Peugeot-Citroen(PSA) which branded them as Talbot then Peugeot.
Skoda - Czech Republic (vw subsidiary company) Vauxhall - British (not in production any longer) Peugeot - French ( pronounced per-joe in parts of the uk but spoken fast) Suzuki- Japanese Seat- Spanish ( again a vw subsidiary, pronounced see-at or say-at depending where you’re at in the uk) Citroen-French ( pronounced cit-ren or cit-ron or cit-tren depending where you’re at) Renault - French ( you pretty much nailed it) Ford - American ( the fiesta shown is made in Germany or Spain for the European market but also built in several countries around the world but strangely not in the USA, imported from Mexico for the US market)
The top of the range Omega, was rebadged as an entry level Cadillac. The Astra was rebadged as a Pontiac Firebird, which was crazy. Saw one advertised in the local paper, went to see it, expecting to see something like in Smokey and the Bandit or The Rockford Files, and I said to the vendor, That's a Vauxhall Astra, wouldn't drive one back home, not going to drive one in the States

Peugeot is pronounced purr - joe but the j making like a french kinda sound. The one with the S is called a Seat (say - at). Citroen is pronounced sit - run with the u making like an oo in book sound. And Renault is pronounced ren - O. Hope this helped! (The french pronunciation of Citroen is sit-roy-en)
To those hating on the us for not traveling around the world we want to its just near impossible for most of us to do so, travel for us is entirely too expensive. Trying to get a flight almost any continent is at least $1500 per person. And hotels often up charge us if we book from the US. Mind you we often only get a week of vacation time from work and it take a whole 2 days to get there that means 4 days out of that week are already gone to get to and from. Or we could pop over to Mexico/Canada by land or sea or the Caribbean by sea without the need for a passport and be home in 6 hours. Which do you think we are gonna go with?
Fun fact, Ford is actually an American brand of car and was the first business to introduce the production line. It was however, the catalyst for equal pay in the uk in Dagenham and Liverpool became if the grade of work for the women being demoted
Vauxhall is just Opel, only named differently in the UK. It was German manufactured before it was bought by Peugeot in the past couple of years. Its a great brand actually. My dad bought one brand new back in 2002 and it has been in the family ever since. By now it has 300.000km on it and is yet to have its first problem with the engine.
I just saw your postcode video and now this car one. I’m loving how excited you get exploring the UK. I’d loved to help with your pronunciation but I can’t leave a voice note. Only one of the cars you mentioned is British which is Vauxhall. Peugeot, Citroen and Renno are actual French.
Vauxhall story - Go back to the Norman invasion of 1066. A freeloader called Faux came across with William the conqueror. He was gifted land south of the Thamea, where he built a House which bacme known as Faux Hall. As the years passed this became corrupted to Vauxhall. In 1905 Vauxhall Cars were formed taking the name from the area of London where the factory was. Years later the factory closed and production was moved to Bedfordshire, which incidentally was where Faux - remember him - had his country seat. Faux's hereditary arms featured a Griffon, hence the car badge.
Some Europeans flaming him for not knowing these cars, but how many Europeans ever seen a Buick before?? Or maybe even a Chevrolet? GMC? Ram? Lincoln? Exactly.
Skoda (Shkoda) Vauxhall is actually Opel (Saturn for you Americans, you had the same cars there) Citroen (See-tro-en) Peugeot (Peh-Zho) Seat (not seat, but say-at)
You guys have some Vauxhall cars under Buick license as it’s a brand that used to be owned by General Motors so they rebadged and moved around a lot of the same cars Buick /Cadillac- USA Vauxhall - Europe Opel - Europe Holden - Australia
American people need to understand any car made for USA consumer companies around the world have to make sure 1. They drink more fuel than the original. 2. Give less power per gallon of fuel, I.e. European cars 1.6 liter has same horse power than your 4-5 liter monster engines. 3. Be the cheapest material they can find. 4. Be high of the ground and flip everytime a bend is introduced, don't know why as some states I can understand you need 4x4 but majority of your states are flat straight.
Vauxhall is the British version of opel, in the US they are sold as Buicks. Purrjoe is roughly how it pronounced. Skoda and seat are basically the same cars with different badges all made by VW. Also, people from most other countries recognise American market cars. It’s a very American thing to be clueless about other countries.
Pronunciations... from the Brits (pls don't hurt me mainland Europe) Skoda: Shko-dah Peugeot: Per(don't pronounce the 'r')-Joe (soft j) Seat: Say-at Citroën: Si-tron (basic Brit pronunciation) Renault: Ren-oh You're welcome/I'm really sorry! Just trying to help a brother out... 🤷🏾♀️
I love his ways of trying to say the French brands. We British get a lot of stick for not bothering with foreign languages. But we use & say quite a lot of French words & sayings & most British don't even realise it. We do say the French car brands names without even thinking they're from a different language. Basically Americans are very insulated & clueless about the World outside of America & the different cultures. British people or the vast majority, travel all over the world none stop. Doesn't matter what time of the year. There's always a reason to visit some foreign country. I think it must have something to do with being an island nation. As we've always been the same. Same goes for the Irish.
At least he's noticing and trying and asking. Hell, at least he's making the basic step of leaving the US and engaging with the real world. Love how he looks at like a giant Skoda and says it's 'compact'.
Renault, Peugeot and Citroën are French. Very good car for decent price and very easy upkeep. Tells you a lot about how french people consider cars as practical tools and not so much status symbol
pronunciations to help: peugeot is pronounced “per-cz-oh” (cz like czech) but most americans pronounce it as “pew-joe” renault is pronounced “ren-oh” citroën is pronounced “sich-ren” but americans pronounce it as “sich-rohn”
The thing with a small hatchback, you can fit so much stuff in it so a lot of the time it’s all someone needs. And sharing so much of our stuff with mainland europe, I would estimate that 90% of our car brands are european. The ones that are not share ownership with general motors or chinese companies.
Peugeot - Pur show (use z instead of s) Renault - Ren O Citroen - Sit ron S is Seat - Say at Vauxhall - Vox hual Skoda - Sko Der For the car nerds: Peugeot and Citroen are one company Seat, Skoda, part of VW Vauxhall (and Opel in Europe) part of GM Hope this helps 😁
Peugeot is pronounced like “Perjure”, but instead of “-jure” say “-joh”. It’s French. While I’m here, Vauxhall and Vauxhall Station haven’t got much in common. Vauxhall is the UK version (I believe) of Opel, and it’s just called that after the area it was founded in.
SO REAL!!! i’ve been living in the usa for 16 years (we moved when i was a toddler) and i am mid vacation in hungary. i had never seen this many suzukis in one place before 😭 i have picture after picture of skoda logos, citroën, fiat, talisman, rexton 😭😭
Vauxhall are known outside the UK as Opel, at least most of them. Peugeot, Renault and Citroën are French, and Škoda is from Czechia and has a long tradition (their first car was built in 1905) and is part of Volkswagen Group. We used to have one of those legendary Peugeot 205 Diesel, three-door hatchbacks, in burgundy red. A fine little car.
Went to the Peugeot museum in Sochaux. They used to make coffee grinders before cars in 1890. The US was using donkeys when Europe was buying these automobiles.
Per-geo (french the t is silent) the S is see-at. The scoda is a cheaper VW, if you could imagine they put all top end in merc, Porsche, then stuff that works goes in audi, then the stuff still working goes in WV then stuff super old that works goes in scoda... Very similar to lexus and Toyota Suzuki makes some of the most reliable vehicles
All of those were European apart from the Vauxhall. Peugeot - Purr-show... But make the S a tiny bit more of a Z. Most cars in the UK are smaller because of the roads. I have driven in the US and your roads are MASSIVE.
Seat (the one with the S that isn't Suzuki) is pronounce "Say-at". Vauxhall is pronounced more like "Vox-all". Peugeot is pronounced (in English) like "Puhhh-joe", but with a soft j. It's a close enough approximation of the French Citroën is generally pronounced "Sitch-run" in English, but in French, it's more like "Sit-roh-en" Renault is pronounced "Ren-oh"
Spot on with the Renault thing. Everyone knows them because of motorsport. It really goes to show why car brands are willing to lose so much money to Sport. Its the best marketing for them.
They’re not British, but European, except Vauxhall which is the same as German Opel but for Britain. Seat is Spanish, Skoda is from Czech republic, Peugeot is French. And they are all Volkswagen group, except Suzuki (Japanese) and Peugeot is owned by Stellantis Group.
This is a selection of some of the biggest car brands in the world!

That's a fair point. I was sneering thinking why are Americans soooo bad at accents and languages. Peww got? And so American centric, I mean these aren't niche brands. But he is trying so, fair dues.
You're not British. I can tell from from the way you speak and your profile picture you've been indoctrinated by America.
Love this guy, he’s sharing and informing- not negative like some visitors to uk vids
Most famous US Peugeot likely Colombo's
As a Brit, can you please do more to tell people that our food isn't bad.
Renault pronounced RenO
Peugeot pronounced Pairjo
Citroen pronounced Sitron
And the one you didn't know the S is Seat pronounced Sayat.
Hope this helps.
Pairjo? 😂😂😂 Damn.....
@@bobouisticper-sho 😊
@@bobouisticcan u ask Jo if he like a pair ?😊
Is nobody gonna talk abt how he's not blurring the number plate?😭💀
Im dying. He said them all mostly wrong 🤣🤣. That peugeot one had me on the floor. 😂😂
So funny how these come across when you're used to them! Vauxhalls didn't sadly come from Vauxhall but rather from Luton (& I think no longer in existence?). "Random car" is a Seat, pronounced Say-At ... Italian, I think? Citroen is a French car so they say Sit-ro-ennn but Brits says Sit-trun.
Spanish
Vauxhall is still around but like Ford sales have plummeted in the UK. Vauxhall is now owned by the Franco-Italian car giant Styllantis (I've butchered the spelling) HQ in Holland which means they look like Citroëns and Peugeots
And Škoda is Chech and pronounced 'shkodah'
@@k2411871although it's owned by Styllantis, Vauxhall is actually Opel, which is a German brand, and the car design/manufacturer is from Germany.
@@larimichel4250 Vauxhall is a British brand which GM purchased in 1925, and took 100% ownership of Opel from 1929-1931, then later merged the two brands. In europe the cars are called Opel and in the UK its Vauxhall. However, as we get both Peaugeot and Citoroen cars as well as Vauxhall we can see its the same car but different branding. So I am guessing the cars are now made somewhere in France
Yes, Vauxhall cars are from the Vauxhall bus station.
He's right about Vauxhall Cars starting out in Vauxhall London
They were originally from Vauxhall in London but after two years (in 1905) they moved to Luton due to lack of space. They still manufacture Vauxhalls in Luton to this day.
This was how I was when I went to LA and saw the mythical yellow school bus 😭😭😭
With me NYC and first actually yellow Checker cab
Thats a Seat, Spanish car company pronounced sea-at by English folk or say-at on the adverts.
bro, the spanish sold seat to vw in 1986.
Most Brits would say Say-at. Normally I wouldn’t give us Brits much credit for pronunciation but I haven’t heard See-at before. Then again, in this country nothing surprises me 😂
British say Say - at I’ve never heard any other way lol
@@Noor28282 dunno everyone I’ve heard in the midlands says it a mix but I hear Sea-at more. There’s an ad from 2015ish that says “say-at” but the rest are just music for the 5th gen 😂. Ai online says it’s “Seet” 😂 so just as long as your not saying seat as in a chair your fine 😂
@@Bushy___that long ago!? I thought they bought them recently as the cars are good now. So the Germans made them shit from 1986-2015 on purpose 😂
Lmao him trying to pronounce them all is so funny.
Man said they come from Vauxhall station 😂
….. they do. Vauxhall cars were originally from about 500m down the road from the station
@@goodmusic210 oh really I didn’t no that thanks
Awkward
Fun Fact - the Russian word for Train Station is ВокзаЛ pronounced Vokzal, íe Vauxhall
Vauxhall is the British brand name for Opel and that’s German.
Dudes head will spin off when a Scirocco rolls passed....
Your enthusiasm for our culture is truly refreshing ☺️🙏🏻
Only if he ventures outside London. Don't forget, British are quite the minority in London now.
And everything, like, your restaurants, shops, public transport etc is COMPLETELY different down in London. It's a bubble.
Apparently you can travel all day with one low fee on your oyster card down there.
I'm not far from Manchester. All the transportation is privately owned and run. So, you need to buy one ticket to go into one direction and in doing so, if you cross a "border" into another area that operates a different service, you then need to pay again.
When my car was off the road, what used to be a 8 minute drive over a hill, turned into a 4 hour, 4 bus 4 fayres round trip and £22.40 a day.
Also, things down in London are open 24hrs quite often. Where I live just outside Manchester, everything is closed by 10pm max. Even central Manchester, most things will be shut by 11pm of a weeknight.
I love how he pronounced the names.
Wait untill he sees an Austin or a Morris Minor Estate, or an original Mini, there are still a few around. When I was in America in the 1990s, I was asked if Hillman was still around, as the guy had been stationed at a US Airforce base and bought one
Toyota,Honda mazda seem to be the ones people are told to trust these days
Hillman was part of the Rootes Group Hillman, Humber, Singer and Sunbeam bought by Chrysler which also owned Matra , Simca and Talbot. Chrysler sold to Peugeot-Citroen(PSA) which branded them as Talbot then Peugeot.
Skoda - Czech Republic (vw subsidiary company)
Vauxhall - British (not in production any longer)
Peugeot - French ( pronounced per-joe in parts of the uk but spoken fast)
Suzuki- Japanese
Seat- Spanish ( again a vw subsidiary, pronounced see-at or say-at depending where you’re at in the uk)
Citroen-French ( pronounced cit-ren or cit-ron or cit-tren depending where you’re at)
Renault - French ( you pretty much nailed it)
Ford - American ( the fiesta shown is made in Germany or Spain for the European market but also built in several countries around the world but strangely not in the USA, imported from Mexico for the US market)
Vauxhall's are still in production! 😂 Fiesta is now out of production
Vauxhall is the German manufacturer Opel. In Germany we have Opel Astra, Opel Corsa...
Vauxhal is just a opel😂
How tf is vauxhall not in production anymore 😂😂 Stallantis is pumping out them 1.2's with a vengeance
Pants...I didn't see this and just spent 10 minutes typing it out in my throne 🚽 !! Oh well at least I added flags....🤣
Peugeot like purr Joe
Citreon like sit run!
Vauxhall cars are called buicks in the US😊
They WERE called Buicks. Then Stellantis happened.
The top of the range Omega, was rebadged as an entry level Cadillac. The Astra was rebadged as a Pontiac Firebird, which was crazy. Saw one advertised in the local paper, went to see it, expecting to see something like in Smokey and the Bandit or The Rockford Files, and I said to the vendor, That's a Vauxhall Astra, wouldn't drive one back home, not going to drive one in the States
Vauxhall cars are known as Opel pretty much around the rest of the world.
Google a Peugeot 205 1.9 GTI. Was my dream car as a kid. Absolute rockets
Yes but from memory.. without googling it !! Wasn't the 1.6 lighter, better handling and almost as fast 0-60 ? I remember my uni friend's brother parking his in a field at high speed near Doncaster !! 😂
Absolute rocket 1.9 litre 😂😂😂😂
bro just leaked their number plates with no hesitation 😭
Americans really be living under a rock these are someone of the biggest car brands in the world. I remember seeing a video of someone questioning an American on country’s they don’t even know that there’s country’s like albania and Algeria etc😂😂
The Ford focus at the end 🤣
That's a fiesta mate
Fiesta
Mate
😂
Vauxhall started as a company in Vauxhall.
Peugeot pronunciation got me cracking😂😂
American general knowledge about anything is wild 🎉
Silent T on the Peugeot
Pronounced ; perrjo' kinda soft j
Peugeot is pronounced purr - joe but the j making like a french kinda sound. The one with the S is called a Seat (say - at). Citroen is pronounced sit - run with the u making like an oo in book sound. And Renault is pronounced ren - O. Hope this helped!
(The french pronunciation of Citroen is sit-roy-en)
To those hating on the us for not traveling around the world we want to its just near impossible for most of us to do so, travel for us is entirely too expensive. Trying to get a flight almost any continent is at least $1500 per person. And hotels often up charge us if we book from the US. Mind you we often only get a week of vacation time from work and it take a whole 2 days to get there that means 4 days out of that week are already gone to get to and from. Or we could pop over to Mexico/Canada by land or sea or the Caribbean by sea without the need for a passport and be home in 6 hours. Which do you think we are gonna go with?
Perrrrr- jooooo that’s how you say that lol x
More like po-jow, but you're close enough.
The „r“ is silent
@PPfilmemacher I agree, the R in Peugeot is silent.
🙂
None off them are English 😂
I must’ve missed the part where he claimed they were English.
I guess so...even Vauxhall has been foreign owned since 1925... although it may... have been built in Ellesmere port UK 🇬🇧 ?! 🤔
Those are normal size cars! In fact by international standards they're quite big!
This says it all bout the us
Showing the number plates is so messed up😅
Fun fact, Ford is actually an American brand of car and was the first business to introduce the production line. It was however, the catalyst for equal pay in the uk in Dagenham and Liverpool became if the grade of work for the women being demoted
Vauxhall is just Opel, only named differently in the UK. It was German manufactured before it was bought by Peugeot in the past couple of years. Its a great brand actually. My dad bought one brand new back in 2002 and it has been in the family ever since. By now it has 300.000km on it and is yet to have its first problem with the engine.
Peugeot > per show Citroen > sit ren. The one with the S on the front is a Seat > say at.
It's crazy that the concept of a hatchback is completely alien to Americans.
I just saw your postcode video and now this car one. I’m loving how excited you get exploring the UK. I’d loved to help with your pronunciation but I can’t leave a voice note. Only one of the cars you mentioned is British which is Vauxhall. Peugeot, Citroen and Renno are actual French.
Sorry autocorrect! That should say Renault 😊
“Vox-Hall” 😂 love this
Vauxhall story - Go back to the Norman invasion of 1066. A freeloader called Faux came across with William the conqueror. He was gifted land south of the Thamea, where he built a House which bacme known as Faux Hall. As the years passed this became corrupted to Vauxhall.
In 1905 Vauxhall Cars were formed taking the name from the area of London where the factory was.
Years later the factory closed and production was moved to Bedfordshire, which incidentally was where Faux - remember him - had his country seat.
Faux's hereditary arms featured a Griffon, hence the car badge.
Some Europeans flaming him for not knowing these cars, but how many Europeans ever seen a Buick before?? Or maybe even a Chevrolet? GMC? Ram? Lincoln?
Exactly.
Bro never seen worldfamous car brands 😂
Skoda (Shkoda)
Vauxhall is actually Opel (Saturn for you Americans, you had the same cars there)
Citroen (See-tro-en)
Peugeot (Peh-Zho)
Seat (not seat, but say-at)
You guys have some Vauxhall cars under Buick license as it’s a brand that used to be owned by General Motors so they rebadged and moved around a lot of the same cars
Buick /Cadillac- USA
Vauxhall - Europe
Opel - Europe
Holden - Australia
They’re all German French and American branded cars. None are from England- but we love em all same way!
American people need to understand any car made for USA consumer companies around the world have to make sure
1. They drink more fuel than the original.
2. Give less power per gallon of fuel, I.e. European cars 1.6 liter has same horse power than your 4-5 liter monster engines.
3. Be the cheapest material they can find.
4. Be high of the ground and flip everytime a bend is introduced, don't know why as some states I can understand you need 4x4 but majority of your states are flat straight.
Vauxhall is the British version of opel, in the US they are sold as Buicks.
Purrjoe is roughly how it pronounced.
Skoda and seat are basically the same cars with different badges all made by VW.
Also, people from most other countries recognise American market cars. It’s a very American thing to be clueless about other countries.
Just some advice when filming cars just try to blur out the number plates
Vauxhall is a British off shoot of General Motors.
-Peugeot :"Pew-joe"
Seat : "See-At"
Citroën : "Cit- tron"
Renault : " WRen-NO
Peugeot = Perrjoe
Citroen = citren
Renault = renalt
Pronunciations... from the Brits (pls don't hurt me mainland Europe)
Skoda: Shko-dah
Peugeot: Per(don't pronounce the 'r')-Joe (soft j)
Seat: Say-at
Citroën: Si-tron (basic Brit pronunciation)
Renault: Ren-oh
You're welcome/I'm really sorry!
Just trying to help a brother out... 🤷🏾♀️
It’s called a “perjo” and it’s a French car
I love his ways of trying to say the French brands. We British get a lot of stick for not bothering with foreign languages. But we use & say quite a lot of French words & sayings & most British don't even realise it. We do say the French car brands names without even thinking they're from a different language. Basically Americans are very insulated & clueless about the World outside of America & the different cultures.
British people or the vast majority, travel all over the world none stop. Doesn't matter what time of the year. There's always a reason to visit some foreign country. I think it must have something to do with being an island nation. As we've always been the same. Same goes for the Irish.
I went to France for a study abroad and fell in love with citroën! I'm waiting for it to come stateside or for me to move to Europe so I can own one.🥰
At least he's noticing and trying and asking. Hell, at least he's making the basic step of leaving the US and engaging with the real world. Love how he looks at like a giant Skoda and says it's 'compact'.
As an American LIVING IN BIRMINGHAM
I actually know every single car in America.
BUT WHEN I CAME HERE TO THE UK I WAS LOST.
Renault, Peugeot and Citroën are French.
Very good car for decent price and very easy upkeep. Tells you a lot about how french people consider cars as practical tools and not so much status symbol
pronunciations to help:
peugeot is pronounced “per-cz-oh”
(cz like czech) but most americans pronounce it as “pew-joe”
renault is pronounced “ren-oh”
citroën is pronounced “sich-ren” but americans pronounce it as “sich-rohn”
The thing with a small hatchback, you can fit so much stuff in it so a lot of the time it’s all someone needs. And sharing so much of our stuff with mainland europe, I would estimate that 90% of our car brands are european. The ones that are not share ownership with general motors or chinese companies.
This is so wholesome. Love your "American in the UK" shorts. Keep'em coming!
This is gold..... .make more dude!!!
Peugeot - Pur show (use z instead of s)
Renault - Ren O
Citroen - Sit ron
S is Seat - Say at
Vauxhall - Vox hual
Skoda - Sko Der
For the car nerds:
Peugeot and Citroen are one company
Seat, Skoda, part of VW
Vauxhall (and Opel in Europe) part of GM
Hope this helps 😁
Peugeot is pronounced like “Perjure”, but instead of “-jure” say “-joh”. It’s French.
While I’m here, Vauxhall and Vauxhall Station haven’t got much in common. Vauxhall is the UK version (I believe) of Opel, and it’s just called that after the area it was founded in.
Imagine coming over here 40 years ago and spotting loads of British car brands too.
Fun fact about that Citroën C1, the Peugeot 206 and Toyota Aygo are exactly the same car and engine just different styling.
The attempt to pronounce Peugeot got me dead 💀🤣💀🤣
I always like how columbo calls his car a pew go
Vauxhall is Opal everywhere else.
And the rest of the cars are French. You ain't missing much.
SO REAL!!! i’ve been living in the usa for 16 years (we moved when i was a toddler) and i am mid vacation in hungary. i had never seen this many suzukis in one place before 😭 i have picture after picture of skoda logos, citroën, fiat, talisman, rexton 😭😭
This is so funny, your pronunciations 😅 love it
Vauxhall are known outside the UK as Opel, at least most of them. Peugeot, Renault and Citroën are French, and Škoda is from Czechia and has a long tradition (their first car was built in 1905) and is part of Volkswagen Group. We used to have one of those legendary Peugeot 205 Diesel, three-door hatchbacks, in burgundy red. A fine little car.
Went to the Peugeot museum in Sochaux. They used to make coffee grinders before cars in 1890. The US was using donkeys when Europe was buying these automobiles.
Peugeot - french - per-zhoe
Citroen - french - sit-tron
Renault - french - ren-oe
Seat - Spanish - Sea - at
Our pronunciation, at least from London.
Per-geo (french the t is silent) the S is see-at.
The scoda is a cheaper VW, if you could imagine they put all top end in merc, Porsche, then stuff that works goes in audi, then the stuff still working goes in WV then stuff super old that works goes in scoda... Very similar to lexus and Toyota
Suzuki makes some of the most reliable vehicles
All of those were European apart from the Vauxhall.
Peugeot - Purr-show... But make the S a tiny bit more of a Z.
Most cars in the UK are smaller because of the roads.
I have driven in the US and your roads are MASSIVE.
Vauxhall is the same as Opel, if you didn't know! And Peugeot is pronounced "pur-joh" 😊
Wait until he realised there was a Company called "British Leyland"
Yep.. BMW’s are from bmw station, just 2 miles down the road.
Americans discovering cars which are a reasonable size
Seat (the one with the S that isn't Suzuki) is pronounce "Say-at".
Vauxhall is pronounced more like "Vox-all".
Peugeot is pronounced (in English) like "Puhhh-joe", but with a soft j. It's a close enough approximation of the French
Citroën is generally pronounced "Sitch-run" in English, but in French, it's more like "Sit-roh-en"
Renault is pronounced "Ren-oh"
Spot on with the Renault thing. Everyone knows them because of motorsport. It really goes to show why car brands are willing to lose so much money to Sport. Its the best marketing for them.
The pronunciation of these killed me 😂😭😂😭😂😭
They’re not British, but European, except Vauxhall which is the same as German Opel but for Britain. Seat is Spanish, Skoda is from Czech republic, Peugeot is French. And they are all Volkswagen group, except Suzuki (Japanese) and Peugeot is owned by Stellantis Group.
Hahaha dude ypu tryna pronounce those names killed me
