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.

Say-Leen is a liquid solution you put in your eyes.

Your statement is worthless to me until I get to see pics. Checked her profile and there was none

Nice,

I'm sure Bonnie ( who has been the recepionist in Irvine for Saleen forever ) would love to see your post about her accent. She would be your friend for life!

I already discussed it with her YESTERDAY before talking to Patty and told her the exact same thing I said on here.
