Quote - I thought the Porsche was Cararra as where our software (and that Italian city or marble) is Carrara? Although it's true that most of us statesiders still pronounce it the first way (I know I'm guilty), since it just seems to roll off the tounge easier regardless of whether it's correct. (Like toe-mae-to toe-mah-toe kind of thing. lol. I suppose that difference registers better in the native Italian though.)

The "rr"'s just change the accent.  The Porshce vehicle is spelled with an "e".  That's why it's pronounced different from the Italian marble and 3D software.  Otherwise, "rare" or "rair" are needed in the spelling to pronounce it the same way as the automobile.
