No Vinfasts on the road but I did see a bunch of Grenadiers.
The first time ive spotted vinfast was when I was in LA last year, which was a bunch of them. Just couple weeks ago I spotted my first vinfast since then in DC. With NC plates, wonder its the same thing Cale spotted.

Speaking of cars from lesser developed countries. Turkey recently launched their first ever domestic brand without partners from mainstream brands like they were with Fiat.

It should be a great competitor here and specs are better than elon mobiles

C4's were pretty well received by the automotive press when they came out. Big upgrade over the ancient (by then), bloated C3.

In case it gets buried in the other chat. Dan could enjoy 4 years of Fraud warranty brapping.
:lolgasm: it went down in price by $1500 since this morning when I saw you posted it... it's certainly more tempting at $30K, I think $28K is about right.

I have test driven a FoRS, they are dope! I worry they aren't great for car seats, IIRC the back seat was a lot smaller than a WRX or current Civic.
