Ehhh the Saturn (GM=American) Vue SUV has the option of a CVT

They are cool but the experience of driving a CVT is too strange for many people, floor it, the engine goes to redline and stays there while you accelerate. There are also problems with how much torque you can apply to a chain or belt before you shred it or cause it to have a VERY short life which is why we don't see many V-8's driving a CVT, maybe some day
