Actually, I would not if Android was the only option (I currently own a BMW).
In fact, that's the reason I won't (yet) consider a Tesla.
In that instance it would make sense though. If there were two cars I liked about equally and one worked with my phone and the other didn't of course I'd pick the one that did.
My primary reason for not buying the other one wouldn't be 'because it supports Siri', but rather 'because it does not support Android.' I think there are very few 'haters' on either side (but they are clearly there), and of those small numbers an ever fewer number are so far gone and radicalized that they wouldn't buy a car over it. Maybe TS and Apple II will commit to never buying a car that supports Android even if it has Siri =p
That indeed has to stop, even if they think 'it's only for a second'
I can relate to that. If the units would make it easy and self-explainatory most people would. The fact that we need to copy over our address book to the unit has fail written al over it, in my book.
That is indeed a sad thing...
It's either going to stop on it's own by user awareness and education or those automatic door locks, automatic headlights are going to migrate to automatic cellphone disablers when motion above x-mph is detected.

Would you *not* buy a BMW (or other car) simply because they also support Android?
If they "also" support Android, fine. If they only support Android, no way.
Likewise, I wouldn't sit in a Ford with the engine running.

Still they are behind, what about iOS in the Car?!
