I think you misunderstood... but I had to read it a couple times. He's wanting to know if mugen has a hard or soft g sound in the middle. It's a hard g sound. Anyhow, this topic was entertaining...I actually read all the pages...

Re: Correct brand name pronunciation
somebody told me Tokico was just pronounced Kiko, but i still always called it tow-key-co.
Also:
It's actually neither for Murcielago. It's really Mur-Thee-a-law-go. It literally means bat in spanish. But it was actually named after some famous bull, i believe.
as for Gallardo, it's Ga-Larr-do. in spanish it means graceful i believe. it is a breed of bulls.
In fact, all Lamborghini's are named after bulls. As Ferruccio Lamborghini was born a tauras, represented in the company's logo. Just a fact.
