AUTO, think as in 'awe'. Like, I am in 'awe' of Eduardo's ability to lie.

OTTO, think as in 'ah'. Like, 'ahhhhhh', Eduardo lied again.

Are they pronounced alike or different??

That's what I thought -- but many people have argued that they sound
the same and used the reasoning of different dialects. Thanks.

Come to Minnesota, and you will find that they are pronounced
exactly alike, unless you are a recent European émigré in which case
'auto' may be pronounced 'ow-toe'.
