Schkoda?
Have I been pronouncing this wrong for my whole life or are they hamming it up for the adverts? There's a Skoda ad running on the radio that really deliberately says "schkoda" about 7 times.

There's been one on TV as well I think. Or YT. Struck me straight away as well.
But then none of us says:
Citroen - Sit-row-enn
BMW - Bay Emm Vay
VW - Follks-vargen
and Porsha as you point out.
