Question What is the proper pronunciation....
of "Designo"? I want to say "Dee-sine-oh", but I don't think that is correct.

Why do you think it's incorrect?

"Deh-zeen-yo" I'm sure the dude in that youtube would say, "Good Day... I'm on my Way to Tar-Jay in my Deh-zeen-yo, to purchase Toe-Motto's.

For me.. Deh-Zig-no, Tar-Get, Ta-May-Toe

I'm with you on this one. "Deh-zeen-yo" just sounds weird.

Henry,

So you crossed over to the "Dark Side". And by the way it is Deh-zeen-yo.
Welcome,

.....I bet my ***** that 98.9% of the people who say "Deh-zeen-yo", stick there pinkies out REAL stiff, whenever they hold a cup.

Whatever floats your boat I guess.. I aint got a "Deh-zeen-yo" anyway... I just have a 550

I for one don't hold my pinkie out when I hold a cup. Just hope that most others don't follow suit or you could end up with a high pitched voice!!!

I agree... I'm sure it's the correct pronunciation... I just think it sounds strange.

EDIT: at least it's better than the way my dealer pronounces it: Design-o

sounds like cereal

One of the sales guys also pronounces Mercedes; Mar-cedes

Thankfully it's not the guy I deal with... I have no idea who would want to buy a car from a guy who can't even pronounce the name of the company he works for.

I have an S550 Designo (my wife's car), I drive a CL63 and I still have my high mileage SL55 (11,000 miles). Glad to catch up with you again.

That is an understement and when you see what it adds to resale it makes you want to cry or really love what you bought.
