Logicly, yes. But reality would say no. the 2016 volt is an all new car where as the 2016 vette isn't. My guess is the earliest you can hope for carplay in the corvette would be it's mild refresh which is probably 2017.

Interesting how much concern there is re: Car Play or Android Auto on a sports car instead of HP, Handling or Looks. Neither of the audio features would persuade me one way or another on a new purchase. I much prefer the sound of the exhaust to the mid-level stereo in the car.

Thats where the industry is going however GM does not move quickly. The design of the C7 NAV is locked except for minor changes. Newer car models may get CarPlay but only when newly introduced. The C6 NAV stayed the same for 6 years except for adding MP3 playback. I can't see GM changing NAV functionality at this point.

Then again I'm also cross-shopping against the F-Type V8R and Cayman/Boxster GTS so my interests may be slightly different.

I don't see how being interested in updates on one thing excludes interest in the others? Personally I'm hoping for CarPlay but I am also interested in other updates for 2016, including some of what you mention. I don't expect any changes to HP or handling, but I am very interested in the changes to the colors, tires, and seating options.

Apple's and Android's systems are nothing more than overlays of the underlying entertainment system. If you don't have an Apple or Android product you will use the system as is.....

It's my understanding that's why GM (and most other manufacturers) are rushing to support CarPlay and Android Auto. They are acknowledging that Apple and Google can innovate this technology much faster than they can. I would hope that GM would not announce support so soon if they didn't think they could get it implemented within a few years. Hopefully we'll have good news tomorrow.
