How do you say it?

I've heard Impala said two different ways. One, pretty much only said by me and a few other people say Im-pal-a. And the other way I've mostly heard it said is Im-paul-a. Which way do you say it? This is just out of curiosity.

Edit can a mod please add a poll with the two different pronunciations as options? My iPod won't let me.

I guess the first one should be Im-pa-la.
The other one should be Im-pal-a. Like what Ryan and Don say.

It looks like the difference between the pronunciation is where the L is placed. I place the emphasis on the LA the everybody else seems to place an emphasis on AL which bugs the hell out of me because everyone in my family says it LA. :D

I pronounce it: Aim-pull-err. And sometimes: Arm-pail-err. Is that wrong?

Yodle-eh-pal-er-imp-mango-doodle, that is the scientific name. Most folks just say impy-doodle.
