BYD has entered Kenya. It's building up all these small markets, because it wants to replace Toyota
Funny they brought up the Buick LaCrosse example.BYD Vietnam to announce to formally launch BYD Tang in October. However, the controversial name of the Tang remains unchanged. Tang is the name of a Chinese dynasty but literally means funeral in Vietnamese. "Would you buy a funeral car?". The company says it understand the situation, but it may take up to 6 months to change the name. It wants customers to experience the car immediately. In my point of view, it might cost too much to change the name for the Vietnamese market is too small.
