How To Pronounce Japanese Car Brand Names. Say Mitsubishi, Subaru, Toyota, Correctly

Have you ever wondered how Japanese people pronounce japanese car brand names? well, fear no more. In today's video, I will teach you how to say Japanese car brand names such as Mitsubishi, Subaru, Mazda, Lexus, Acura and Toyota.

Sorry guys, I meant Lexus wasn't recognized as a brand in Japan until 2005. Not North America.

And for those of you getting butthurt over this "correct" pronunciation video, let me remind you that I did not create this video to force anyone to pronounce brands the Japanese way. Do I force Japanese people to pronounce Ford, GM, and Chrysler the way we do in the states? Hell no. This video is for entertainment and educational purposes only. Every region pronounces words differently and that's the beauty of the diverse world we live in.

I plan on filming another episode on "how to pronounce Japanese car models" and motorcycle brand names.
if you have a car like Hakosuka or Hachiroku that you are curious how it's pronounced, comment away in the comment section below :)

Japanese car companies sounds so much cooler when you say them haha

[AmateurArson]

I love how much meaning there is behind the names. Kind makes you appreciate their products more.

Really enjoyed hearing not just the correct way to pronounce the Japanese names, but also their origins & the semantics of the Kanji characters!

Very interesting. Not just the pronunciations, but also the history lesson on each one. My 10 year old Gran Turismo addict will love this.

Great video, my Japanese wife is always correcting my car brand pronunciation.

[kermitttt]

Datto San sounds like name of some old sensei

[dominicancheif]

My parents have a hispanic accent and pronounce Toyota exactly correct lol

[novdusday]

I love this guy... His presentation is very pure and honest.. 😊

[scottlampe]

That's funny about Datsun. Here in Australia they were called a "Datto" which was just Aussie slang for Datsun. Turns out that's how you pronounce it.

[Tolu]

both educational and entertaining. thanks

Very cool lesson! I'm 37 yrs old and this is the first time in my life i hear someone explaining this. Thumbs up !!!

I imagine that the author will have received many dislikes and negative comments from people in the U.S. and Europe. I would like to thank him for a quick lesson about his language, using a totally different system of writing, than any of we "westerners" are used to. I wish that more authors would teach such lessons, and I hope that more non-native speakers will take notice and appreciate them.

Fun Fact

The same people getting butthurt over the pronunciation are the same people that will correct you over the slightest mistake one make when speaking or writting

My wife is Japanese. No matter how hard i try she bursts out laughing everytime i try to say Isuzu.... =)

We pronounce the Japanese cars in Spanish the same way that the Japanese does because our vowels are pronounced the same way in both languages... In English vowels are pronounced sometimes one way and sometimes another way depending on the last letter of the word.
