How is "Fiat" pronounced?

I keep hearing "Fee-it" in the commercial. Sounds wacked, but is that the real way it's said?

I've never been to a place in the world where it hasn't been pronounced Fee aat, that's even how it was pronounced at dealers I remember in Mexico.

I still remember how Renault when from being pronounced from Ren-oh to Ren-ALT back when it was sold in the U.S.

"Fix-it-Again-Tony" was true decades ago. We'll have to see how the 500 holds up here in America. As a brand-new car, though, it seems well-built for its class. I couldn't find any assembly-defects with the one I reviewed.

My parents had two Fiats when I was just a baby and living in northern New Jersey...actually very realiable little cars for them, but yes I have heard of their problems.
