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.

Anyone want to know what Impreza means in Japanese?

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
