Time for a lesson in phonetics. SON is an abbreviation, therefore there is no right way to pronounce it. However thus being said there is no wrong way either. The more appropriate way is to say it how it is spelt and not treating it as a word, in this case son. In other words SAWN ---

Most of the time I don’t actually… I say Southern Ontario Nissan 240SX Owners Club, b/c it feels weird trying to pronounce something I’ve never heard anyone else say. But I do say it SAWN when I’m lazy. ---

ive always said SAWN, then one day i heard Greg say SUN, then i said SUN for a few days, then I switched back to SAWN because it was confusing. When you say sun, the word comes out faster and some people may miss hearing it. When you say SAWN, its emphasized in your sentence, like a little hump and you notice it. so i say SAWN now… ---
