Honda Announces Deep iOS Integration With Upcoming Vehicles

Eric Slivka from MacRumors on the latest in-dash technology to be found in the new Honda Civic and Honda Fit:

The new Civic, which goes on sale tomorrow, and the upcoming Fit, which launches early next year, will offer an all-new Display Audio interface featuring a 7-inch touchscreen that will be familiar to smartphone users, offering easy access to a variety of features.
