I like to get in my car and drive so I do not have to deal with anybody. All that talking would get old fast.

I really don't think so !!!!

I would have to shoot my car if it talked that much. I'm with onefish2 on this subject.

The Video was a good thing to see, Thanks for posting this.

I'm speechless.

The only thing that comes to mind is being in a Disney World attraction.

But a thousand times more unpleasant.

I believe you get this voice thingy on a SD card... but apparently CARandDRIVER decided IT should do the quick spin :P

Please tell me this is a joke. It's a joke, right guys? April Fool's came a little late this year, huh..?

I'd rather burn my car to the ground than listen to that every day.

I'd give the dealership $5000 to REMOVE that option.

If you know people that think MINI's are "gay" already, just wait until they get a hold of THAT video. Jesus.

I'd only want that if they had a Yakov Smirnoff version, "In soviet Russia, Mini drives you!"

Ok...I have just had my Camden for two days...and I have to say that in reality the Mission Control is far less obtrusive than I thought that it would be.

There seems to be admittedly a LOT of chatter when you first start up and start moving...but while driving around there have been very few interruptions.

I thought that it would be something that I would instantly toggle off...but I think that I'll leave it on for a while. I think that there is some decent promise of new SD cards (or just modifying it yourself) to make it even less obtrusive...and potentially even more personalized.
