A few other open-for-interpretation pronunciations:

Tein: "Tain" in Japan (Rhymes with 'Pain'); Often "Tee-N" in the states

Bride: "Brid" (Rhymes with 'kid' - not as in Bride & Groom)

Zele: I've heard a few pronuniciations, however "Zell" (rhymes with 'bell') is one often heard in both the states and Japan

AIT: "****" (universal pronunciation)

I like how Jeremy Clarkson pronounces "Nissan" with his British accent.
But as for "Nismo," I think it's pronounced with the 'niece' sound in the 'Niss' part of the word.
Since we say "nee-sss-on" when we normally say it, so that would make it "Nee-smo."
