El Reg reports
As foreshadowed in February, Ford has announced a new in-car entertainment and communications system that will run on BlackBerry's QNX real-time operating system, not Windows as is the case for the company's current efforts.
Ford Sync 3 will offer touch-screen and voice recognition controls. The latter will allow drivers to command both their vehicle and apps on their phone. Siri control is another feature.
The auto-maker's offered a touch-screen system for some time now, but it's widely regarded as one of its weak points. A complete refresh on a new operating system therefore looks like a good move.

I rented a Chevy (by mistake, I assure you) earlier this year. Worst godforsaken interface ever, and half of it's disabled but visible (greyed out) if you don't have a subscription to their satellite service or whatever it is that makes that side of things work. So, if you don't pay a subscription, you *look* cheap to whoever rides in your car, and you're constantly reminded of your failure to consume.
