You left out the way the British guy in the ads says it.. Jag-you-are, which isn't correct. The proper pronunciation is "Jag-war". I don't understand why people say "Jag-wire". Where in their minds does the "wire" syllable form?

it can be pronounced like that. 'welcome to the machine' has it pronounced like that too.

Something I found on google

I know this is a bit off subject but I felt a true Brit contribution was
required! Jaguar the word is derived from the Tupi-Guarani word yaguara and
was a biologists' class-name for all carnivorous beasts, first used in
1604. Preferred pronunciation is (cover your eyes, fellow Brits) Jagwar.
Furthermore, the feline, Panther Onca originated from South America [not
Coventry, UK ]. So, as is often the case, our American cousins have got
the word and its pronunciation technically correct. However, as a car, the
word was first used by (Sir) William Lyons in 1935 in the form SS Jaguar. I
have a video tape of Lyons talking about his cars in the 1950's. He
pronounces "his" word Jag-u-ah - with a well-bred English accent so.. 'ah'
not 'ar' at the end. Since he selected the word for our beloved cars I feel
his pronunciation should stand!

Well, since it is a British car and the British pronounce it Jag-you-are that's how I pronounce it.
