Mine has it. When a call comes in it rings through the stereo and there's a mic up by the rearview mirror. You can also make calls via voice command by saying the number (or name if you store a phonebook). Still, I don't think it makes one bit of difference whether you're hands-free or not, and I just read something about a study to that effect. Even though I'm sometimes on the phone in the car, I would have no problem with it being outlawed. Yes, a lot of cars (not just luxury) have Bluetooth capability. Mine has it.

I'm not as bad as my husband, but that's not saying much! :) In seriousness, I am aware of that fact(oid – didn't we once have a debate on the use of 'factoid?'), but I think lots of us wimmins are also quite inept! :o By the way, that smiley face is supposed to be a closing bracket. I'm not able to stop the wink. Hugh, you give me too much credit!

Wimmens are able to process a lot more things happening at once. Mens is only able to focus on one. An overstatement, but not a massive one. Huh-huh..."right knob..."

And yeah, about the text messaging - that's why a lot of these laws are being passed. A group of teenage girls were killed in a horrifying car crash last summer and they're saying the driver was checking her messages. Awful. http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=3379012 I think that already exists in luxury cars…not sure.

I guess that I never really noticed having an issue with the voice in one ear, noise in the other. I've always thought that most people are driving badly because they are trying to dial or fumbling around text messaging or whatever. But I guess the distraction is just as dangerous. The best-case scenario would be your phone working through your car stereo, right? No, you’re not! I guess that I never really noticed having an issue with the voice in one ear, noise in the other.
