In Japanese, "Aristo" is a 4 syllable (character) word, unlike the 3 syllables it is in english.
The character breakdown is:
A-Ri-Su-To
I guess the emphasis is on the "Ri" portion.

You guys don't know Japanese? =P
Each syllable consists of 2 english letters
the first letter is a consonant (except for 1 set, which is aiueo): k, g, s, z, etc
the second letter is a single vowel: a i u e o
'n' also exists by itself... there are a few exceptions, but it's pretty easy to get the main ideas of it =D
Each Japanese letter is a single syllable pronounced as would in Spanish (latin? Sorry... been a while since I've taken a language)
a = ahh
i = ee (like key)
u = oo (like boo)
e = ay (like kay)
o = oh
There are 2 alphabets: Hiragana and Katakana. They both use the same sounds. Hiragana is used when writing a true Japanese word. Katakana is used when writing a "japanified" version of a word from another language
Examples:
Hiragana:
のむ= no - mu = To drink
ちさい = chi - sa - i = small
Katakana: (Sorry... a little rusty so it's not exactly on the dime)
ハーマーバーガ = haa - maa - baa - ga = hamburger
スパーマリオ = su - paa - ma - ri - o = super mario =P
The vehicles are named w/ English names, therefore use the Katakana writing system.
アリスト = a - ri - su - to
common misconceptions come into play when you try to read it in straight English. It may turn into airy-stow... but that may be how it's supposed to be pronounced. In Japan, a-ri-su-to is correct. Depending on which language the name was actually derived from, the true pronounciation will vary =P
ていん = te - i - n = tay-ee-n. Many people say TIEN (WRONG!!) or TEEN (WRONG) =P

well, if we go JDM
"tayn"
honestly it only really bugs me when people say "tee-en", dude, wtf?
and honestly, aristo is what i would consider 3.5 syllables because often the SU gets blended in witht he TO so it sounds liek SSSSSSSTO. sometimes i hear the full su, but in the full heat of the conversation it kind of melts into a long S.

As for Aristo, I don't think a-ri-su-to is feaseable in English because you will not be able to phonetically explain where su comes from. From consolidating the different posts from the Japanese language savvy menbers, it seems like it is close to ah-Rees-sto (meaning slight accent on the second syllable and a little longer s). That quick su sound seems to give a slight accent to the middle syllable.
OK. After this, I don't want to see/hear any CL member misspelling/mispronouncing Aristo and Tein.
