Since Volkswagen is a German company, the popular Jetta car is probably supposed to be pronounced "Yetta"

  Indeed. Though interestingly, the Jetta seems to be much more common abroad, t’s a pretty rare car in Germany.

      For roughly Jetta-sized cars by Volkswagen, it’s usually Passat or Golf (including the ‘Golf variant’ station wagon). VW Passat is fairly common as a police car, too.

  Apparently, the name is derived from “jetstream”, so it probably is supposed to be pronounced like cheddar. But a German who does not know that would probably pronounce it as Yetta, yes.
