Mr. Nguyễn Mạnh Thắng - Administrator of OTO+ Car Community boasting nearly 1 million members, also holding the position of General Director at Whatcar Vietnam, openly shared his insights on the Car Choice Awards 2022.
Hello, as the leader of a car user community with hundreds of thousands of members, what significance do you see in Car Choice Awards 2022 for consumers?
I've never witnessed an automotive award aimed directly at consumers before. Most awards concentrate on criteria set by the organizers for evaluating vehicles. I view this as an award that demonstrates differentiation in the market.

- In your opinion, how will people embrace Car Choice Awards 2022?
This award will represent the voice of car users in Vietnam, so I believe it will be warmly embraced by consumers.
- How do you assess the scale of Car Choice Awards 2022?
I believe VCCorp's awards have always been grand and spectacular. I trust Car Choice Awards 2022 will uphold that tradition.
- What role do expert panels play in Car Choice Awards 2022?
Relying solely on consumer voices, Car Choice Awards 2022 could be biased. The average consumer is easily influenced by group psychology, which affects their car-buying emotions. Hence, newer or smaller brands might struggle to access the awards.
This might result in only big names like Toyota, Hyundai, or Mazda winning, leaving little room for smaller or newer market entrants. Therefore, the expert panel's voice represents the customer's voice, providing the most specialized insights during the car-buying process.
- As a member of the expert panel, can you share some criteria you use to select the most suitable cars for consumers?

For instance, when it comes to a family car, the driving experience may not need to be overly emphasized, but instead, it must offer ample amenities, comfort, and provide the highest level of safety for the entire family. Selecting a long-wheelbase vehicle with spacious interiors, yet desiring it to deliver an enjoyable driving sensation, can prove exceedingly challenging. A vehicle that meets these criteria is considered the finest and most valuable to each consumer. I will endeavor to assist consumers in discovering the most suitable vehicles for their needs.
Thank you for your insights!
