Just as a matter of opinion: I believe correctly it is pronounced Concour but we tend to 'fix' it by anglicizing it so we pronounce the 's'. We borrow words from other languages but tend to 'English' them up by pronouncing them differently. After a while, that is accepted as one of the pronunciations.
To that I will just say "rendezvous"
If you still don't believe history, dictionaries, tradition, and other language rules, then just go by the only three official, Kawasaki-produced videos where the word Concours is uttered:
2010 Kawasaki Concours™ 14 - Official Preview
Kawasaki Concours14 2008
2008 Kawasaki Concours14 Movie
Is that a result of a texting society or failure to use an education?
