Is there a car (or SUV) that has a Bluray player as part of its rear-seat entertainment system?

No. Not yet.
However, there are many in-car entertainment systems that have AUX inputs. Most cars with in-car entertainment systems have video and audio inputs. If not, there is often an option (Infinity upsells these) to add an AUX input in the trunk.
Personally, I would fill one of these with movies / tv / whatever and connect it to an AUX input extended to the trunk:

A simple IR extender would take care of the controls.
Otherwise, if you really want HD on the small in-car screen, connect up a standard BluRay player (or hey, maybe a PS3) and watch away.

Good answer and follow up comment on the portable Bluray (and hard disk video player -- good idea).
Mitsubishi has created a Blu-ray player for car dashboards. The prototype is the smallest Blu-ray player ever demonstrated. The player should hit the market in about one year as part of a new HD car entertainment system. Also Panasonic is working on a similar Blue-ray setup for car dashboards.
As of right now there are no cars that have a Blue-ray option unless you were to have something custom assembled.

Engadget reports that Panasonic is going to be first on the block with a portable Bluray player: http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/08/panasonic-makes-it-official-profile-2-0-dmp-b15-portable-blu-ra/
It's not as refined as an integrated in-car entertainment system but it might be the best truly mobile bluray that we'll see for at least a year.
