    Until this morning, I had not read of them. They're certainly betting a lot on EVs.

        Bad reviews on build quality and malfunctioning features. But they have delayed building a $4B plant in NC.

          I confess the idea of buying a Vietnamese car doesn’t appeal to me.

          But I would have said that about Korea a couple decades ago and they make good cars now.

          Thank you for your attention to this matter.

            The Koreans are much better but not up to Japanese standards yet. On the other hand, the 2000 Hyundai Elantra wagon I inherited from my dad and my daughter drove for a few years that I sold to my cleaning lady's daughter 10 years ago is still on the road.

              Test drove a Vinfast SUV in early 2023.
              It drove just fine.
              Nothing particularly noteworthy except maybe the very large, portrait oriented touch screen with in the middle of the console. 🤷
