Renault

Renault S.A. is a French vehicle manufacturer producing small to upper-mid-size cars, vans, buses, tractors and trucks. When its cars were imported to and sold in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s, it was decided to pronounce the name as "Ren-ALT" in marketing to the American public, and the Anglicized pronunciation continues in common usage. However, while in English usage, Renault is correctly pronounced "Rhen-oh" (as it is commonly in the United Kingdom), the French pronunciation is closer to "Ruh-No". edit this text
