At 7:40 of the video I posted on page 1 you see them jumping in and out of CarPlay, so there is a stock interface if you don't have an iPhone. While it does only work with certain models of phone, if you're buying a brand new car there's a pretty good chance you aren't the kind of person to have a 3 year old phone.

While I love touch screens, I certainly feel there's still an important role for physical buttons in a car. As a safety measure, most people can operate their car stereo without taking their eyes off the road if the controls are tactile. I suppose that's where Siri would be useful, but she needs to get a lot more functional.
