Call them what you want, but Vietnam has closely studied the China model and have improved upon it, most of the goods coming from there are pretty decent quality and have refined the processes.

It'd have 2 humps and always be looking for a goat.

They laughed when Hyundai showed up here.

I’ve now had three Hyundais in a row. Great cars.







Although..... the last two were made in Alabama.

They weren't at first. Had an Excel in the late 80s, would shake like crazy on the highway. They couldn't fix it and said I had to live with it. Moral of the story: don't be an early adopter.

My wife has a good friend who's dad retired from GM, he said never buy the first year model of any vehicle, and do research before you buy the second.

I found nothing with G00gleFu. An engineer I met this week was telling me about a prototype car a major mfg was working on for the ME. They were using recycled plastic bottles and molding the two halves to make a simple inexpensive car. When they did a crash test it blew into nothing but shards from the brittle plastic, they only made 3 and the project was dropped.
It was to be marketed as “Two Men and a Goat”.

We had a Toyota Rav 4 a few yrs ago that did the same thing. We called it SHAKEY.
Quite possibly our last ever Toyota. Bad experience with car, dealer and Toyota Finance. But I agree about being an early adopter. Caveat Emptor.
 
And get ready for Indian cars next (ie Tata).
Just this weekend I was getting lunch (the popeyes!) and saw a golf tourney on tv that was sponsored by Hero, an Indian motorcycle company.
It's coming. And it's ok.
Now for our American manufacturers to keep innovating and stay with the trends

Well to each his own but I never own a car produced there for the same reasons I refuse to run Michelin tires....

The Michelin rubber plantations in Vietnam were off-limits to to TacAir/arty and served as VC sanctuaries. Uncle Sam had to pay for any damage to these plantations. Charlie new we could not engage

Ok, so what about a Vietnamese car, assuming it's a new((er) newer than mid 70s...) company, still not buying due to Vietnam war?
Start checking your clothing, your writing devices, all small things in your home, a lot comes out of Vietnam

Also have to remember that half of Vietnam was an “ally” of sorts to us.

Oh, Im well aware. And understand that we were more with THEM than they were with US.
Actually that's what I wrapped up yesterday in class, Vietnam. Yall probably wouldnt be stoked on the amount of time (only about 4 hours), but we've been talking about it for a few days. We'll quiz on Tuesday.

But I compare Vietnam to Japan or Germany - we fought them decades ago, and while that's not cool that their people fought/killed ours, it was war, that was decades ago and we can move on from that and accept items of theirs. In my opinion.

And, in my opinion, it'd be foolish to turn off of a vietnamese car or tire, when we have so many other products of theirs in our homes.
