Just wondered......how do you all pronounce the name of the 4 wheeled pride and joy sitting in your driveway.


The Cap bit is obvious......Cap as in hat. The second part I've heard a few variations

1/ Captour......as in tourist

2/ Capchur....as in church

3/ Capchure .....as in capture to catch

Personally I prefer number 1...I've got a Captour

What do you have ???

 

[Thewhiteball]

I think its suposed to be capture as in catch.

It's definitely CapturED my heart...

up until now well impressed.always had fords before and still think fords a better build .but so far plus first diesel I have had the mpg is brill getting double the mpg on the same size tank as I did on petrol focus.

 

[hicky]

I will go for captour as I seem to be wanting to drive it everywhere.

 

[awq]

I'll go for number 3. Think it's a play on the word captured or to be captivated.

 

[dantoo]

Oh! well the day I bought her/him it was my catch of the day....so I suppose since then I've been CAPTURED so it's number 3 for me.

As there is no "e" on the end one would assume Cap-ter, however on the course it was always refered to as the Cap-cher.

Best idea is to say thats my car over there when they say which one you say the one that is whatever the colour is,

Hi folks,A while back the forum had a similar discussion. Dan, our illustrious leader came up with this.

Hope this helps.

When the ill-fated Concorde was first publicized, there was a discussion as to whether there should or should not have a "e" at the end of the word "concord". The French won out. Somehow "Concorde" looks SO much better than "concord".

PS. Spelling is NOT my strong pointe

I have just spoken to a Frenchman I know he says in a very lush accent

Capturr.

Indeed - when I tell people I have a new car on order and they ask what it is, and I respond with "Renault Captur", they all say "What's that? Never heard of it" or similar

FOR GOD'S SAKE - it's Captur pronounced as CAPTURE!!!! Read some articles on it!

That's funny Tyrfelin, I thought it was pronounced CAPTUR!!!!

 

[crossbow]

or should it mutate to be GAPTUR when used with an adjective?

 

[Tyrfelin]

Load of crapture!
