If the company had several sites, I tried to visit them all. Additionally, I visited the leading news and automotive sites. As of today one week since the attacks, this is what I have found: > > > Aston Martin - Nothing. > > Audi - Nothing. Audi's web site states "Audi News: Always up to the minute." > > BMW - Nothing despite other press releases/postings since 09/11/01.

Honda's site states "If you're looking for the latest developments taking place at Honda, you've come to the right place" and "Informative. Timely. Credible. The latest news on Honda can always be found right here?" No press releases/postings since 09/04/01 when the release boasted "American Honda Motor Co., Inc. recorded its second best sales month ever in August ?" My search included: hondamotorcycle.com (other press releases posted on this site since 09/11/01), honda.com, honda2001.com, world.honda.com, acura.com and honda.co.jp. > > Hyundai Motors Group (includes Kia) - $300,000 to the American Red Cross. > > Isuzu - Nothing. > > Mitsubishi Motors - Nothing. Mitsubishi-motors.co.jp site states "The latest news about Mitsubishi Motors."
