Is it true that some people say "jag-WIRE" instead of "jag-WAHR"?

Question

Why do some people say "jag-WIRE"?

Answer 1

Can't say I've hear "jag-wire". I've heard "jag-u-ar" too. Sounds a little bit remedial like that doesn't it?

Answer 2

Jaguar is a English word from England and British Motor company. We pronounce it JAG-U-ARE. Only Yanks, yank wannabes and idiots would pronounce it any other way.  

Answer 3

I only heard jag-WAR.

Answer 4

in English english its JA-gure, the second syllable is not emphasised

Answer 5

In the UK we say Jag-you-uh, because that's what we call the animal.  Don't know if that helps at all, or if that's what you mean!  I've never heard anyone say Jag-wire though - maybe people hear someone say jag-wahr and don't realise that they're saying it wrong, like aks or nucular.
