I think it rather depends on where you are. It 'should' be "Brown"
but internationally they themselves use the "Brawn" pronunciation
to
go with the flow. Other German brands like Adidas and Volkswagen
do
the same thing.

But 'Vee-Dub' sounds *much* better than 'Fow-Vay' (that's 'fow' as in
'how', not 'low') :-)
