It is 2 syllables.

But in America, the ''e'' in Porsche is treated as a silent letter for some reason.

Everywhere else in the world, it is called Por-Sha.

Same with Soccer and Futbol.

Soccer is known a Futbol all around the world, but it is called soccer in America.

l think the reason most people call it ''porsh'' rather than ''porsh-a'' is because how would you say horse? It would be ''hor-ss'' not ''horss-a''.

Anyway the correct way to say it is ''porsh-a buit most people would know what you meant anyway,.

Hope that helps

Because in the English language, the e is silent, & most people do not realize in German, the e is stressed.

To the person mentioning other world problems, it is not a matter of there being more important problems in the world or not. It just means that u do not know why, & the person asking the question is just wondering.

Soccer is NOT called futbol all over the world. It is only called futbol in Brazil, Mexico, & Spain. It is usually called football everywhere else, & occasionally called soccer. It is referred to almost exclusively as soccer in America.
