What ever happened to the OPs original question? I saw the pics on Apple's site for the new iOS 7 features and I thought the same thing...what manufacturers are actually implementing this interface and in which vehicles and finally, what model year? I like the integration between smartphone and car (whether it be iOS or android) and lately I've been doing more with my Nexus 7 than just using it for torque. I create a wifi hotspot for the tablet and I still run torque via Bluetooth and I'm always impressed by all of the little things that Android is doing without me setting it up to do so...ex. The other morning I was reading some news articles on the Nexus and at 7:45 an alert came up and said "time to go to work" and gave 3 route options and traffic for each. I've never programmed "work" into my tablet and it just picked up on my daily pattern of dropping the kids at school and heading into the office. It also has been keeping tabs on the news I read and selecting articles that I may be interested in and other cool little things. My point is that these "cool little things" are the future of how we interact with our technology and our cars and whether you use Apple or Android the technology becomes even cooler when seamlessly integrated into the car.
@2forme and I have had many discussions on tablets and mobile OS in cars and I think we both agree on the end goals...its only a matter of time before all cars have some sort of mobile OS integrated. The aftermarket is already producing many HUs and that is a sure sign that the OEMs aren't far behind.

If anyone has links to a list of manufactures working with Apple on this project then please post them!
