Depends
The company probably uses the French pronunciation, but I like the English one because it reminds me of those old B/W WWII movies or Victory at Sea, with the bombardiers dropping bombs.

Gotta say...
Doesn't much matter how you pronounce it the folks asking the question haven't a clue what that is or really care...Just like do we all know what
BRP stands for or BSA or BMW or how about NSU (I do admit I don't know that one but a great scooter)...

As a young fella in the early 70's with a heavy right foot & a penchant for fast cars, I had a whole lot of blindingly fast fun in an NSU Wankel Rotary engined front wheel drive car with a semi-automatic g/box, ZF power steering, independent suspension all round, & 4-wheel disc brakes (inboard up front!) in a car that was designed in the 60's! But I also learned a lot about the need for regular preventative maintenance & working on a car that spent almost as much time NOT running well as it did going!! But when it went, it went bloody fantastically; & it looked smart as well as fast, even when it was parked!!

Bom Bar Dee Ay.
It's a family name and comes from the name of an individual, J. A. Bombardier, not a corporate name.
As the name of a person, we should pronounce it the way the family chooses.
You never hear anyone talk about the MAH-SEES Thanksgiving Parade.
Although you do hear a lot of people refer to Target as TAR-SHZAY.
Just my opinion. I could be wrong, and I'm sure someone here will point it out if I am.
If it ain't broke, don't break it.

Bomb bardy eh ... To keep the Canuck feel . One particularly clever HD rider ( well he had the shirt) was kind enough to point out to me last year that the Spyder is just a "Ski-Doo" and not a motorcycle anyway ??? Up until then I was convinced the was actually amazing to Ryde but now .... Well actually I still do
