No. I thought that was the pronunciation too until a few years ago at a boat show I saw the CEO of Bombardier Recreational speaking, and he referred to it as bob-bar-dee-yay. I've also heard it referred to as bom-bard-dee-yay on various baoting tv shows as well. I think Bom-bar-deer sounds much cooler.

Of course, "Bomb-a-deer" sounds pretty cool, too :o)

Depending how badly one is slurring one's voice, it frequently comes out like bomb-Bard-jay.
