This.
Not only does this CarPlay not allow a massive amount of phones on the market but only playing nice with iPhone, it only uses the latest iPhone's (5, 5c, 5s). Can't imagine having a Car OS that only interacts with such a small amount of the market. If there was ever a time you'd want Apple products to sync with other products, it's now.
The cell phone market is changing so quickly, new flagship devices every month. Seems insane to buy a new car in 2014 and have to be locked into a certain phone for the next several years. It's fine if you're buying something like a set-top box for a TV, but with a car? No thanks.
