From what I know about vehicles, no vehicle with and automatic transmission can be flat towed for more than a limited distance. At least the manufacturers recommend against it.

You can if the vehicle in question is RWD and you disconnect the driveshaft.

Interestingly, Saturns (even with automatic transmissions) are designed to be flat-towed.

This is why they are such a big hit with the RV crowd.
