I believe they started the warranty at 7\70 to try and get people into
the dealerships after the terrorist attacks on 9/11. If you noticed,
all the dealerships started offering incentives after 9/11. Chevrolet
is now offering to let you test drive a car off the lot, and keep it for
24 hours.

Dunno, but I think it was mainly just a competition thing on the
Warranties (kia's 10/100,000 and everyone else stepping up their own
warranties to compete). Don't most of these components last up to about
7 years or more anyway? I know my truck is about 7 years old, and don't
have any problems related to the drivetrain (yet).
