A car of such kind running Linux isn't news anymore, in the sense that it's expected to do so, we've already seen Linux running on all kind of cars and many devices before that its use is seen as normal and almost isn't worth noting anymore, ie. it's what we are all used to see.

A car running Windows wouldn't be news but a joke, be it Windows ME/CE/.not/mobile/xp/vista/whatever.

I don't know the real technology behind the 'Powered by OS X' of the car, if it's using some OS X-only tools or anything like that.
