John, There are lots of examples without a namespace on CRAN. The first in the alphabet (in the C locale) is DAAG. Another example (but handled specially) is package 'datasets'.
Taking the version on CRAN (car_1.0-18) and adding LazyData: yes LazyLoad: yes worked for me (and you don't actually need the second, as it works whether or not the R code is lazy-loaded). Perhaps you can let me know offline what the problems are?
