When we first drove the VinFast VF8, we weren’t impressed. Our headline said it was “simply not ready for America,” and the criticism only got worse from there. VinFast clearly rushed the development process and didn’t have a remotely competitive product to offer. Supposedly, the Vietnamese automaker planned to improve the VF8 over time, so … Read more
Remember when some Wall Street bozos thought VinFast, maker of one of the worst-reviewed cars, was worth more than America’s Big Three automakers combined? It wasn’t all that long ago and the brand had some pretty lofty goals for selling in the American market. Let’s see how things are progressing. The 2024 Volkswagen Passat Shows … Read more
Sometimes there is a subset of car culture that you’ve just missed out on somehow. That’s what happened to me and the 3.5-liter Ecoboost-swap Mustang community. I just didn’t know they existed, but it was brought to my attention today via a tweeted screenshot of a Facebook post, which naturally sent me into a research… … Read more
Luke Larsen / Digital Trends The Vision Pro is coming. Really soon. Its release date announcement, while not technically made at CES, may as well have been. And yet, most people haven’t used the headset, and don’t know what it really does. And that’s OK. But surely the technologists at CES 2024 would be a … Read more

Of course, rather than address these faults, VinFast … Read more

While that pickup is just a concept for now, VinFast also used its CES presentation to formally announce that its super small, super cute and hopefully … Read more

Chinese companies have returned to Las Vegas for CES in full force this year, with more than double the number of exhibitors compared with last year, including big names like ByteDance and Alibaba.com, as companies try to shake off Covid-era blues with overseas growth. CES lists 1,115 companies registered from China on its website, a … Read more
Mario Tama / Getty Images Wander the massive halls of the CES trade show held annually in Las Vegas, and you’ll find a lot of smartphones. But very rarely do you find many new smartphones. Major manufacturers still showcase their devices, but they are models that have already been released rather than ones being debuted … Read more
Photo: VinFast VinFast has a problem. The VF8 isn’t very good. In fact, it’s quite bad. That’s made it hard to convince actual people to buy its cars. If you live in Vietnam and happen to point that out, apparently VinFast’s solution is to simply call the cops on you, as Sonnie Tran, a social … Read more
