iPhone 5S on 7.0.6
I would disagree. Based on how it appears to work, it actually keeps people from doing what they should NOT be doing: using their smartphone. This integration provides them a far less distracting way to integrate with the information they want/need to consume from their device, and do it in a way that is seamless to the rest of the way they interface with the car itself.
This did not work for me before.
You'll get the offer to REPLY as well; however, I have not been able to get the canned responses to send.
It's still a step forward that I can now hear the car read the messages to me.

Before this, I had to open the console, hold down the Menu button, and then play Siri off against "Hang up" to get it to read the messages.
That it integrates a new way with 7.0.6 is helpful.

Yeah, no replies using the built in system but it has shown 'new messages' since iOS 7 if you enabled it in settings. You can however, send replies via Siri by pressing and holding the home button on the phone.

And I can of course send a reply by using Siri over the Bluetooth, but it is not what I'd call satisfactory because the car switches to the Phone interface when you do that, so you have to time it correctly against the NAV system saying "Hang Up."

I was never able to read new messages until 7.0.6, whether or not I had notices turned on.

Fortunately, I've added Siri Eyes Free to my ILX and it works quite well. Previously, I had disabled notifications from the car for exactly the reason you stated. Since I'm always on BT audio, it was a simple matter to have the phone notify me of an incoming message and to reply via the 'home' button on the phone. Now, I can use the steering wheel "talk" button to activate Siri.

I could be remembering wrong, but I could have sworn the permissions came with iOS 7. Gah, these things get so blurry these days.

Siri Eyes Free is a software patch available for all '13 + '14 RDXs and ILXs (premium package and up). At this point no further compatibility has been announced. However, if it were compatible with RLX, it would probably need to be done at the dealership like the other cars mentioned.
