Sean Connery always pronounced it correctly btw.
There was a joke going around about his brother's daughter but I'm not sure you guys will get it. It's a little niche.

Skoda or schkoda?
I will prounce it Schkoda at the same time as I change the pronunciation of another brand to "Bey Emm Vay".

I remember there was another advert for it months ago where they explained that its actually pronounced Schoda. God knows why they've brought it up after so long, is it meant to sound foreign and more exotic?!
See also Dacia and Datcha.

Once you've got the make right you have the model to contend with; Fabia? Octavia? Scala?
