If I were trying to say the word 'Volkswagen' to a German person, I would do my best to pronounce it in a way they would understand.

As most of the time I ever say the word 'Volkswagen' out loud it's to my fellow English speakers, pronouncing it in the expected English way seems way less pretentious and effective.
