Does this thing have a car dock?

Yes, it definitely has one. Ordered my dock when I picked up the phone due for delivery tomorrow before 7 pm. It is designed specifically for the Rezound. I believe the product number is: HTC6425MNT. Good luck.
I'll be interested to see how that works. I've just disassembled my desktop dock for my Rezound and found that it doesn't rely on the old "magnet in the dock" trick to allow the phone to recognize which dock it's in. (Positive polarity for desktop, negative for the car - or vice versa.)
The desktop dock (99H10468-00 HTC Desktop Docking Station for HTC Rezound) doesn't seem to have a magnet in it anywhere. It does however have an odd connector where it attaches to the phone. I would describe it as an "inclined micro USB" connector where one side of the outer connector shield is longer than the other. It may be that this physical feature of the shield results in a different connection order (shield then power then data?) and this lets the phone know which dock it's in? That's a total guess. It's possible that the USB connector is wired in some weird way that let's the phone know where it's docked as well. Short pin X to pin y...that sort of thing.
Judge for yourself, check out the tear-down photo album.

Here's a pic of that weird angled USB micro USB connector that attaches the dock to the phone.

Cool.. Did you happen to notice if the dock connects to power and 3.5 audio out? For example I'd be able to just pop it in the dock and it would automatically start charging and connect to my car stereo without having to manually connect wires.
