Absolutely. People with a great product, and a good heart. They honor Japan.
I don't own a Honda cars, but I proudly own a crf230f dirtbike and my 4 year old has been riding his Honda 50 dirtbike with training wheels for almost 2 years. Good job Honda!
Proud Civic owner. Kudos to Honda.
Speaking of Corporations that begin with H....has anyone heard from the Heinz Foundation yet? Any contributions on the table from Teresa?

If I needed , and could afford , three automobiles they'd all be Hondas !
Well we're not driving the Odyssey as much these days, but it's usually only for short trips with the kids. But I take the Civic to work, and the wife takes the Accord.
When back in the States in 1995 we bought a new Odyssey . Wonderful vehicle , and we missed it upon our return to Japan ...Now own a new " LIFE " , a 660cc baby that averages at least 45mpg , is cute , comfortable , functional and full of convenience ... Love it .
I hope the local governments and/or FEMA save this Honda equipment for future use.
Anyway, Honda makes great cars--I own a Civic HX CVT coupé that gets 33-37 mpg, and my stepdad owns an Acura Legend L sedan.

Hurray for Honda! I drove a 1986 Honda Civic Si while in college. Great car. It even started up after sitting outside in -20 degree weather. I will buy more in the future.
