    No, this isn't a boost to help Stevie or Mr. Fag, just posting some useful
    info about the old VTi VUE and ION models.

    My two cents is, I do find it ironic that other manufacturers were for the
    most part able to get it right, take for instance the Nissan Murano or
    current Ford 500 with VTi tyrannies, so what exactly did happen that Saturn
    was not successful with he VTi/CVT transmissions? Personally, I have seen as
    many owners of these cars who have NOT had trouble with these cars as those
    who have. I'm sure if you Google him you will find my old friend FastION who
    races his souped up VTi Quad Coupe down in FL.

    Personally, I was thrilled when Saturn returned to the old GM standby
    tranny, the Hydro-Matic, which in my opinion has been one of the best out
    there in decades. I know that GM also extended the warranties of all VTi
    owners to cover any potential issues, that was a good thing. Looks like the
    settlement will be assisting all VUE and ION 2002 to 2005 (mid-yr) VTi
    owners. Saturn discontinued this transmission in mid-2005 and extended all
    VTi warranties.

    That's such a 50's - era space age term, isn't it?

    I know my truck (not the saturn) has the 4L60E, but I like to call it the
    Hydro-matic, just because it evolved from the hydramatic 700r4.

    Yep, every time I hear "Hydro-matic" I think right back to the movie Back to
    the Future, LOL.
