The traffics in the city there are horrific. But the road conditions are somewhat improved along the country side. Except there are lots cattle laying the streets..I may have to rent a Cayene if I visit there again.

Vietnam has a growing economy and there are a few wealthy people who can afford expensive cars. If Porsche's aim is to sell 30 cars for this market, I don't think it's impossible. It's also a great way to expand their product into another Asian country.

People have been importing high end luxury cars to Vietnam for a while now. The taxation is insane though.

True on the tax but I know a lot of people who go through a Mercedes every 2 years because they can afford it.
