Johnny Dang Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 I'm not really keen on the Asian auto industry since China has released too many cars and EVs in recent years, and they have nothing but the same designs and profiles coming from other brands. But VinFast actually got me to look at their EVs. They have their own signature designs for all their SUVs. It's what people in the US are looking for. If you look at their US marketing, you can tell they are taking this seriously. It looks like VinFast is the second Asian country (after China) that putting considerable effort into the American market. What makes it a little bit harder, while China's EVs usually have low prices, the VF 9 asking price is close to a Telsa Model Y. Carscoop said the VF 9 starts at $56,000 / €49,280 for the Eco and at $61,000 / €53,413 for the Plus (not include taxes or EV tax incentives). VinFast is offering a 10-year / 124,000-mile warranty. They've already had more than 24,000 pre-orders for the VF 8 and VF 9. What do you guys think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imTravisK Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 I think most of the people are impressed by their looks. The VF 9 and VF 7 are incredible, tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowButter Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 If you look at the total picture, what VinFast is doing is very impressive. This is really impressive for a company that's barely a few years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarsAholic19 Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 Autopilot is not the problem, people are using it in the wrong way. The VF 9 also has the self-driving technology at level 2+, so if people depend too much on it...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepTalkingAbtMyCar Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 I saw their premiere on the SupercarBlondie channel and they look really impressive to me. Such a big step for a young car brand like them to be at CES. Wish them luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mousetohell Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 Their lineup looks cool, they seem futurist but realistic at the same time, idk. But luckily for them, BMW and Mercedes-Benz didn't show up to steal the spotlight haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berlin147 Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) Wow, they seem serious with their marketing in the US. I saw their advertisement around their headquarter in LA recently. At first, I wondered who they are they but now I see why they have that huge marketing plan here in the US. Such a good lineup.

kpunmpink Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 Can anyone tell me how many countries in Asia will import electric cars into the US? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcar Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 China's car companies also launched in the US, Vietnam is next to China, are their cars the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger1246 Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) different countries, and VinFast EVs are equipped with German technology, surpassing China's brands. They're also about to build a factory in the US. If it comes to Chinese electric cars, I think the design of VinFast's exterior looks better, they have a designer from Italy.

Ortiz Harrison Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 A gasoline car is simply a 4-wheel vehicle with an engine, fitted with additional utilities to serve customers. But an EV includes a complex new technology related to production lines, supply chains, and materials... Hopefully, VF will do well with EVs, I have high hopes for them.

Brown Brent Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 When will they release VF5? It's so stunning, I'll buy it for my lil sister as a 18th birthday gift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Hiddleston Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 $40,000 is a great deal, it's only cost a half of the tesla model x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smith George Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 As a Vietnamese, I am very proud of what VF has done. They are always at the forefront of everything and are not afraid to fail, It's amazing. Hope their car company will be successful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
