[edit] Pronunciation

I believe that the vehicle should use the French pronunciation so as not to be confused with the Safeway brand of milk, as the name is derived from a city in Switzerland. The French pronunciation is "lau-sawn".

You are referring to the Swiss city of Lausanne. This is distinct from the Swiss city of Lucerne. The names are pronounced differently. Lausanne is pronounced "low-zanne" and Lucerne is pronounced "loo-cern," at least in American English. Joel Blanchette 16:02, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
