I don't think the Vietnamese American will buy those cars.

They still think all successful business in Vietnam has some ties with the regime (which they hate a lot).

This business is even more problematic to them since the owner is a Northerner, he had started on Eastern Europe, and his father was a military officer.

The Vietnamese Americans I know came during the end of the Vietnam war. I don’t see them supporting a car company from that communist country.

Exactly. You’d be hard pressed to find a staunchest bunch of anti-communists out there.

Know a lot of Vietnamese folks around the Washington DC area. Like the Cubans, most of the Vietnamese in the US are here because the NVA military cause them to flee. A lot of them vote Republican and probably aren't crazy about a former NVA officer selling them anything.

On the other hand the guy seems pretty capitalist.

Uh do they?

Well, eye of the beholder. I think they look ok.

They look nice to me, but my wife always tells me my judgement on fashion is an outlier (said using less pleasant words).

Eh, they look like every other car.

Like the next refresh of the Accord.

Right one looks a bit like an Alfa Romeo knock off to me. Not necessarily a bad thing ;)

Look its V for Vietnam.
