    I say either, depends on the crowd. if i'm with my car mates, it's 'vadge' (like hedge), but if i'm not with car people i'ts normally 'volkswagens and audis'


    i like volkswagens

    Yeah I say vadge. If I'm with others though (non car people), saying that means explaining why I sound so crude..heheh.

    The definition of an acronym is that it can be pronounced like a word...
    Nothing to see here...

    TNT is an acronym for trinitrotoluene but you can't pronounce it as a word. It has to be said as "tee-en-tee".

    That's just one example.

    [edit] wait a sec... no that's an abbreviation.

    for a simple question i've gotten a lot of different answers, no wonder this question has been bugging me!

    i've got:
    adj x 2
    aj x 1 + me
    ag x 3
    Vee Aye Gee x 2
    volkswagen audi group x 1

    Though adj and aj might be the same

    almost needs a poll!

    After only reading the acrynom on the web, i always pronounced it "vaj", but i'd get funny looks at work when i said it, hence my question here

    great that's six different options now. i thought acronyms were supposed to make things easy!

    i probably should have been more specific and said "how do you pronounce VAG when asking for where you left your VAG cable"
    i.e. you wouldn't say, have you seen my VA group cable, i don't think

    Nope, that's an initialism.
