Default How do you say it?

Ok, a co-worker and I are in a dispute over the pronunciation of "Saleen". Is it (SAY-LEAN), (SUH-LEAN), or some other way to pronounce it.

Thank you. I thought that was the way you say it. A growing number of people here in georgia are beginning to pronounce it SAYLEAN. It kinda gets annoying.

That's because dealers that sell Saleens butcher it too! It's embarassing.

Just call Saleen for yourself and listen to the voice of the girl who recorded their answering message. Not only will you her pronounce it correctly, but you will hear one sexy ass British accent. Makes you melt. You can go a little further and press 0 and speak to her in person!

p.s. Yes it is pronounced "Suhleen" and I'm even in Georgia!

Almost ALL of my friends or people that ask me about it say Say-lean and then when I reply to them I make sure I use the name in a sentence and say Suh-lean as many times as possible.

Steve Saleen says it 'suhleen'... I think he knows more than anyone else how to pronounce it.
