I'll take the Elise, and maybe the nine two eight.
kinda random: Are cars with numbers, ie Porsche's 928 pronounced nine two eight, or 928?

#21, I don't think there's a set way to say it. I pronounce it "Nine Twenty Eight."

Here's some Porschephiles debating on it: http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforu...enty-eight.html
I almost always pronounce the late two digits as a single number in Porsche model names....the exceptions to this are the "nine nines," such as 993, 996, and 997, for which I always pronounce every individual number.
For some reason, for 959 I go either way. Sometimes I say "Nine fifty-nine" and sometimes I say "Nine five nine."

"nine twenty-eight" and "Nine Forty-Four"
Once I learned the snobs don't like it that way, I was determined to NEVER change :)

Most numeric or alphanumeric model names I do the same way.
For example, Skyline GT-Rs to me are the "Arr thirty-two," the "Arr thirty-three," and the "Arr thirty-four." BMWs are the "E thirty," "E twenty-eight," "E thirty-six," and so on.
The only exception I can think of off the top of my head is the Toyota AE-85 and AE-86, which I pronounce as "eight five" and "eight six."

Now that I think about it, I do call the Mazda 626 (and any remaining 323's I might see) a "Six-two-six" and "Three-two-three"
But, BMW's don't get the same treatment, a 325xi to me is a "Three Twenty-Five"

I think I just call everything with a number by the number.
