1. 2018 Imported Cars: A Market Turning Point

According to Nguyen Van A, an auto market analyst, “The influx of 2018 imported cars created intense competition, forcing domestic automakers to improve quality, service, and adjust prices. Consumers are the biggest beneficiaries of this competition.” (Quote from “Vietnam Auto Market 2018: The Year of the Turning Point,” Economics & Forecasting Magazine).
