How the heck to pronounce "Pinzgauer"

OK Guys,
I need some help here. A friend of mine and I are fighting on how to pronounce "Pinzgauer".

Is it Pinz-G-auer (with a hard 'g') or is it more like Pinzauer (with a really soft or no 'g' at all)...?

Come to think of it, he pronounces Puch like Pooch, I say "Pook".

So, who's right here?

Thanks!

I pronounce it as Thilo 'taught' me...steer pook pinz gow (like cow) er. Due to his familiarity with the llingo, I'd wager he has it right. I bet there's plenty of opinions though.

Thanks!
Here's how I heard it from Thilo...

Shtier (shooshy s and long I) Dime-ler (long I) Pook (really soft k almost like an h) Pinz-G-auer (hard g).

That's my story and I'm sticking with it! So, thanks for the vote. I think I win my bet!

Oh yea, my friend has a Hummer too.

My e track seat belts are now installed.
Now I can flip the Pinz and not worry without losing anybody from the back.

Actually, the first to be belted in were my neighbor's ten and eight year old daughters. We had a quick trip to the local Rita's Ice.
