Ok we all know that printed on the GPX and GPvR Models is a little logo saying "Mivec" but... How are you supposed to say it ?
Many People and even on the new mitsu adds say My-vec. but this sounds a little pommy (no offence to any englanders). I always thought it was said Me-vec if you know what i mean. Anyways this is a little silly poll to see what you guys call it

I always thought it was My-vec, and based on the voting so far it seems most people have thought this.

My Macedonian Friend calls it Me-Ve-ch!!
Pronounced the same way as a Macedonian's surname. He obviously has no clue!!

Hmmmm cause its a Jap car, so it should be pronoun in Japanese as Me-Vec, but then again "Mivec" is base on english words so it should be My-Vec.

Isn't that why it was a Mitsubishi Starion instead of a Stalion

Most Macedonian surnames end with ski, not ch. How would i know, cause im macedonian
PS. i call it MY-VEC cause it sounds better. It's the same with other things. u dont say ME car, you say MY car.

I used to call it mevec, until I went up to Mallacoota and heard all the NSWers pronounce it myvec (sounds a bit Yanky to me

).

yeah My-Vec sounds to yobboish
i agree becuz of Ve-Tec than it makes general sense when its called MeVec.
My-Vec suits people that only drive Commodores and cant pronounce anything else that aint aussie!!
