conditional autoregressive models

Does anyone know how to estimate via ML a conditional autoregressive model
(CAR as in Cressie 1993) using R?

Not yet. As Brian Ripley pointed out in R News in 2001, where 
functionality has been available in S-PLUS SpatialStats, there has been 
less incentive to write R code. My guess would be that if one used 
errorsarlm() in spdep as a template (with the functions being optimised) 
then it wouldn't be too difficult to do - but returning an object of a 
"carlm" class, for example. Next print(), anova(), and summary() classes. 
Would anyone like to help?
