Why would anyone pay for Wi-Fi in a car?

General Motors announced at the New York auto show today that they will begin to offer a Wi-Fi option on the Cadillac CTS.

Aside from being an overpriced car (I observed that the the interior was horrible and squeaked like a mouse), who in their right mights would pay $499 + $29 dollars a month for Wi-Fi in the car? For less than that - one can easily get a PCMCIA or USB 3G cellular card for their laptop (which would also be a lot more practical because you'll be able to use it anywhere - not just limited to within the car).

maybe they expect people to be living out of their cars one day not too soon, and then 499 + 29/month is actually more reasonable a price and a much more feasible option than cable internet if you live in your cadillac.
