Car Features - Cars Vietnamese People Can Buy That Filipinos Can't (And Vice Versa)

From a communist nation closed to the world back then, Vietnam is becoming one of the rising economies in ASEAN. While they do have a larger market for motorcycles (similar to us), their car market is booming with several car assembly plants located there.

Lets discover the Vietnamese market by determining what cars we get (and in return they don't) and vice versa. The list does not include the likes of engine and body configurations for both countries and we would only focus on popular brands, leaving out small players such as luxury brands and some unknowns.

Before we start, we'd remind you this list on has cars and not motorcycles so don't expect Honda Cubs on this one.
