not right now it has been discontinued because of design/manufacturing problems. i was working at one of the machine shops supplying a part for this trans. can you say global manufacturing => parts made in michigan, assembly in hungary, sale in the the states. there are about 20 cars sold in the states with cv transmissions. you will see them more as they get the first generation bugs worked out because they have lest internal parts than a automatic transmission. my girlfriend drives a honda city with a cv and her only complaint is that it is to easy to speed due to the smoothness of the "shifts". jonathan On Sat, 15 May 2004, Edward Maglott wrote: > Isn't that Saturn SUV available with one? > Edward > > At 08:45 AM 5/15/2004, you wrote: > >I wondered why we haven't seem more of them.
