Android Auto will probably be added eventually (that's just speculation atm), once Lexus is accepting of the user data collected by Android/Google. At least CarPlay is coming so that's a step in the right direction. I do give Lexus props for not letting those companies dictate too much, and coming to an agreement for both sides. I appreciate the privacy concerns. None of the other manufacturers appeared to do this as they just jumped in the tech bed ***** nilly.
), globally iphone is only 20% of the market. No android auto = fail

In the Car and Driver article about the new Avalon, it mentions Alexa and what it will be used for:
Sounds like they are using Alexa like the Lexus Enform Remote app?
