@Dario
Very few examples Dario. italian cars never had expression in Vietnam; on the other hand they sold well in Thailand, Singapore and Malasya, mainly fiat and alfa romeo in the seventies and eigthies. In that time fiat have an assembly plant in Thailand and Malasya and many examples of the 1500, 132, 128, 131, some lancias beta coupés and alfa giulia, alfasud and alfetta were assembled and even exported to Hong kong, Australia and new zealand. Nowdays Italian cars are all imported with high tax at high prices.
hello i saw in top gear vietnam special that fiat cars (500) are on sale in vietnam (although they aren’t cheap because they are imported i think).. does anybody know how many of them are sold?
My congratulations to Ford… the only non oriental marque in the top 25! bravo!!
