"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"

Lol, one visit to Vietnam can easily show you why an SUV is not going to be a hit there. It's basically motorcycle country. Cars are pretty common too, but motorcycles are basically THE form of transportation there.
I'm in Hanoi right now. Theres quite a few SUVs and crossovers. Maybe between 1:4 and 1:8 cars to bikes.
Mostly Kias and Toyotas, I saw 1 Ford Explorer.
1:4 is a wild ratio. I can't picture that in Saigon, but maybe Hanoi is a lot different
I was in Saigon in 2016 and there were quite a few SUVs, lots of larger Toyotas like Land Cruisers for Uber, etc.
