Yep, it's German so pronounce it as a German would (like the "ow" in "ouch"). The other way (aw-dee) is like in "audio" which *is* the latin root of the whole thing, but when Mr. Horsch (sp?) decided to Germanicize the word for the name of the car company he said it like any German would.
Quickstrike- Yeah, might as well say it right, huh? Heh heh, I've heard ads for Porsche dealerships where they leave the "eh" off the end (and even heard it that way on their call-waiting message!), but that doesn't make it right
