Dacia: how do you say it?

[Nick3point2]

Watching 5th gear, it's pretty crap these days and they are reviewing a Dacia duster.


The guy just pronounced it datch-e-a, compared to top gear (clearly the be all and end all of automotive knowledge) pronouncing it day-see-a


So what is it?







And finally, they have a competition, giving away a 1998 carrera 4. Wow, really pushing the boat out there, giving away a 13 year old mid spec car!!

at the Factory they said Dat-cha.

[Pilsner]

Dah-siah

[nottyash]

I got bored watching it as its rubbish but luckily I found some chocolate peanuts which are lovely and took my mind off it

When I were a lad, the bloke living next to us had a Dacia Duster (complete with parts from a Morris Marina I believe) and he always referred to it as a Day-see-a.

There were no Marina parts in a Duster, unless he had pimped his ride

Dah-see-ah, apparantly.

[ajprice]

Day-see-ya.

There are a few 911 C4's on autotrader starting at about £12,500 on Autotrader an £10,500 on PH Classifieds. Wasn't the prize a Mk2 Golf GTi once?

i could have sworn the exterior door handles were straight out of the Marina parts bin. Oh well, memory playing tricks on me in my old age.

They speak all funny though.

[TheEnd]

Is that genuine?
It's overdubbed, and I'm wondering why that guy is looking all smug in a brown budget 4x4

[pmjg66]

I would pronounce it sh!t !

[Hugo a Gogo]

Da-cha like Lan-cha

[soad]

Plenty of pronunciation variations to choose from then
Nothing wrong with a 996 C4 either, they sound pretty good.

Wow, so nice to give away a car that may well need a £5-6k engine overhaul some time soon

With the insurance service and tax costs of a £70k sports car! "thanks for the prize, but I haven't got the £4k my insurer wants. And how much did you say a tyre is???"

[Ed.]

How'd it do? demand five seems unwell. Anyone else think it would be great to if they made a Duster R like the Juke except more subtle?

Old Da-C.I.A's were basically old Renault 12s.
