"It is my opinion that the SUV or, as it is sometimes referred to, Large Engine Vehicle, which does so well in the United States, will be a wonderful addition to the various product lines within Vietnam"

Every single Vietnamese person I've known has only driven motorcycles or scooters, because the roads are already too congested to handle large vehicle traffic. I know autos are available for hire, but realistically is it even worth owning an American SUV in Vietnam?

    I've been to HCM city and the streets are a river of scooters. These numbers are definitely off but I remember a tour guide saying there were something like 14 million people and 16 million scooters or (I forget the actual numbers). I gotta go back there it was so much fun. Amazing food, nice people and the best coffee i've ever had.
