BMW to go hands-free in the back seat
With Bluetooth hands-free phoning trickling all the way down to the options lists of inexpensive motors like the Nissan Versa, high-end car manufacturers are searching for new points of differentiation in the telephony wars.
BMW has taken the battle to the back seat, as rear seat hands-free will be an option on its 7-Series lineup in the not-too-distant future. The Peikar Acustic wireless phone will allow storage of 100 speed dial numbers.

My generation made great use of the back seat, and it wasn't to yak on the telephone!

I bet it wasn't hands-free either, eh Mal?
I don't have anything remotely intelligent to say about this article, just that this is my favorite accompanying photo on Autoblog... ever.

Since the Escalade didn't exist in the 70s, I suppose this guy is riding around in the back of a stolen DeVille or Fleetwood.

So Rick, why does it have to be stolen? Back in the 60's/70's that was mid to upper class business attire. Noticing how there is no overdone jewelry, gold, etc. you can rule out the pimp factor too.
Shaft! Damn right!
