Right now, CarPlay is just kind of boring, which I’ll concede is perhaps the goal. Often boring equals safe. Apple removed a lot of the distracting elements from the screen. The icons are large and text is easy to read — and there isn’t a lot of text, either.
iPhone users will feel instantly at home with CarPlay. The learning curve is essentially flat. Plug an iPhone into the car and CarPlay instantly works like an iPhone.
As for the 2016 Corvette Stingray itself, the 6.2L V8 engine was plentiful and the seven speed manual transmission brought a smile to my face. After getting my fill of CarPlay, I turned off the radio and enjoyed the sweet sounds performed by an American V8 symphony.
The ‘Vette is stunning. Sleek lines, sharp edges and electric blue. CarPlay is just OK.
