Cobra or Cohbra ?
 
Some say Cohbra (sounds like "covert") and others say Cobra (sounds like "cobber"). What is the general opinion ?:confused:

I though a Shelby Cobra would be [car-bra]? Third option?

Bit like the Chev vs Ford powerplant debate really.:JEKYLHYDE

My friends who are either Canadian, English or Sth African all say Cohbra and regularly take the piss out of the way we say Cobra. So I've decided they're not getting a ride in my COBRA! :LOL:

At the shelby factory in vegas they call it a cohbra.

Tomato tomarto i say.

I have the same thing with my other car. Audi - Ouwdy or Ordy.

All those vowels and diphthongs! US East Coast, West Coast, UK, Aussie and even German. This debate could be endless.
