When you have the capability of either using an electronic microphone/speaker system, or just having the clean and elegant solution of a retractable partition, then why force the people to speak through this unnecessarily constrained little hole? It's like being at the bank teller and you have to speak into the tniy hole in the glass barrier. It might look classy, but it's poor design and an impediment.

Ok just read this..so that little round hole is for talking. I find that to be most elegant and old world to the max, but you and Roberto are right, it is a poor design functionality wise. I can't believe Rolls didn't put some type of speaker/phone system back there. They really went for the old world/days effect all the way.
