Does 4.1 allow voice prompts to read and reply to SMS?

I am on the road a lot and one of the advantages of Siri is when a new SMS comes in I could activate Siri and ask to read my text. Siri reads it over my BT headset or the speaker if BT isn't connected. She then asks if I want to reply to the text. I could have a text conversation while driving and never need to look at the screen. I simply had to press the home button to access Siri.

I have searched the Play store and tried many apps, but I haven't found any that do this in remotely the same way. Driving mode will quickly read the text, but not through BT. It reads it as soon as it arrives rather than giving me a chance to listen. If I were listening to the radio I would miss it.

Does anyone know if this feature was added to 4.1 as part of Google Now? I have heard different things so I am looking for someone currently running 4.1 to give me some feedback.

Thanks!
