Des-eye-row. (Desiro) because the root is Desire in my opinion, and it seems to be saying "desirable" (train).

How is the word desire pronounced? I suspect the name is derived from that word, so logic suggests to pronounce it the same way.

I seem to remember it's a German word that has nothing to with desire
All the Siemens people i know call them Dez-Ear-Ro
