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?

And how many people can afford one even at zero tariffs?

Surprisingly probably a lot. My Vietnamese coworkers always go on about how its hard to go back and visit because it costs a lot over there now and how it isnt the place they left
