    I'm a Honda salesman and I have sold Toyotas so I've experienced quite a few of these recent tech features (Entune, HondaLink, etc). My verdict? No thanks. I was born in 1991, so I'm no stranger to modern tech (tablets, smartphones, etc) but I think the built-in stuff is just too much. So many things can go wrong and it's so, so confusing to keep up with all of the in-car apps.

    I like my iPod with an AUX cable in my base model cars. If I want to play Pandora, simply pull it up on my smartphone. Oh, and GPS? Garmin for me :-)

    Google's "AndroidAuto" initiative seems to be the best path, IMO. Instead of all having proprietary interfaces which will never get updated by the manufacturer, I'd rather the car screen just be a "terminal" to my phone.
