I see that YD doesn’t have an audio for the pronunciation.

Hmmmm!
Interesting.  Don’t know.  Perhaps because it is commercial.  Have you tried other commercial words?  Other types of auto, for instance?

I like the word Suburu.  I think it refers to the constellantion known as the Southern Cross.
Chevrolet: I like the sound of that word too: it was the last name of the brothers who started the company.

In most cases, /t/sound sounds like /d/.

Luck? I don’t know anything about luck. I’ve never banked on it, and I’m afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work—and realizing what is opportunity and what isn’t.

Is it true? But I’m trying to listen to some English speakers. Dunno! Maybe, I just misheard.

Same heat wave today, but rain an hour ago cooled it some.  Get air conditioning fixed tomorrow.
