Not sure what country you’re getting angry in, but in the UK at least, they “officially” changed the pronunciation from “hyundai” to “hyunday” with a series of adverts a couple of years ago.
They were literally called Hyundai (i.e. with high-un-die pronunciation) in all their own adverts and everything for the last 40 or 50 years. Of course, basically everyone still calls them Hyundai.
I don’t think ignoring a companies “rebranding advert” really suggests anything about someone’s knowledge or care.
I’m in the US, heard a multitude of pronunciations from people here. I’m not getting angry, I’m just adding clarification on how to say it (at last In US).
Although I did get upset when a supposed “expert”-or at least industry professional- can’t use naming correctly.
As for other countries, yes there are discrepancies with numerous name pronunciations, and while I agree with many (Nissan, Prius, or Jaguar to name a few), saying Hyundai any other way is nails on a chalkboard to me now.

How do you feel about the British pronunciation of Jag-you-ah? Assuming you’re from a “Jag-waah” area of the world :)
I much prefer the British version than Midwest US “jag-wire”
