2007 S550 Designo Launch Edition

What is the proper pronunciation....

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

"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.

.....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 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.
