Silly question I know, but there seem to be two versions of the word, ImPReTser (as in pizza) or ImPRaiSer (as in razer). Anyone know/have opinions on which is the real/best one?! I know this should probably be in with the muppets!

The first one is right - unless you're an Aussie or American motorsport commentator

Folks in the UK say it like "pretzel"...impretza? If you want to get technical, the way the Japanese say it, "eem-poo-re-za" ...there is no "t". So I guess us Americanos and Aussies are somewhere in the middle.

In Aussie land it's as it's spelt. Impreza. No "ts" just one "z" . And the e is not pronounced as "ai" or "eee" just e short.

Hope this helps

I think it might have a little something to do with the Constellation Pelaides, and the 'Brightest Star' in that constellation, but I will bow to your wisdom!.......................that come sout of your ****
