Diesel was invented by a German engineer and his name and namesake fuel is pronounced "deezil" in German. The term coupe comes from the French 'coupe'', where it is pronounced "coo-pay". We Americans tend to have our own versions of pronunciation for foreign words as well as some interesting regional variations on English words.
