How do you pronounce "Subaru"

sometimes, I wonder if it's just me calling it SU-BAA-RU; everyone I talk to tends to get confused, and insisted that I drive a SU-BU-RU. Even SOA can't pronouce their own name correctly...

Whenever I've heard a Japanese man say Subaru, the 'a' in the 'ba' is so understated it almost sounds like 'bu'.
