Hello everyone! Joe here, I usually hang out in the Testarossa forum, but while I'm here I thought I'd ask. Is it pronounced Mon-dee-al or Mon-dye-al? I've heard it both ways. Just wondering, thanks!
Take your pick. http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/mondial/421507-how-do-you-pronounce-mondial.html http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/mondial/476817-how-do-you-pronounce.html
In the energy industry, we have the same issue with pronouncing that certain Middle Eastern country as Qatar with a Q or Cutter with a C.

My Italian Mechanic says it like this Mon-(like 'money')-dee-(like the letter 'd')-al(like first name "Al")-leh(like how French people pronounce in French 'Le') Mon-D-Al-Leh
"Honey, there's Magnum's car", "308?", "Some sort of Mustang?" All well intentioned tho and I've never heard a negative comment (unless you consider "Mustang"...) (-*
That would be for Mondiale (like in Spanish "Mundial") Example World Cup, world war, those are Mondiale The Ferrari model name is only Mondial.
That's how my Dad used to say it, Sid. But he also decided to pronounce tomato "toe muh toe", so go figure!
I think the lesson to take here is call it whatever tickles your fancy! Cheers Be well feralc, and drive in good health.
