I just read on Jalopnik that Ford is considering going with a bankrupt company to replace Microsoft for SYNC functionality. I hate to say it, but I may be driving my last Ford.

Ford Reportedly Dumping Microsoft For Blackberry, Of All People

If Ford were to drop Microsoft, there are only two other options aside from in-house development - Apple or Google. Blackberry, really?

Well, this is interesting. Looking at Apple's CarPlay page, Ford is listed as a committed partner. Why would they be talking about going with BlackBerry? Maybe to test the market and see how they react?
