Do we know yet if the standard radio will be Single or Double DIN?

Can't remember where I read it, but it is supposed to be single DIN.

I can't imagine it being anything else than single DIN. The aspect ratio of the opening looks too high for double DIN and I can't see EM deviating from such a widely accepted standard.
A question for you "electronic" wizards: is it possible (at reasonable cost) to run a vox intercom through the radio/stereo system? Perhaps just an amp and speakers with music input (blue tooth?) from the intercom side. I guess I have become obsessed with having a clip-on mic for each of us to help eliminate the feeling of isolation (not to mention headsets). Any others see the value in this?

You could use a portable one like this:

And just plug the output into an Aux port on the stereo.

It would be far easier to get something like this the Midland BTX1 FM Twin you can get them for less than $200.
Rather than running it through the radio, get a low cost set of walkie-talkies and a mono headset with a mic (you can't legally wear headphones when you drive).
Yes, I know someone will pop in and say that they use two earbuds all the time, but if you got pulled over with them in, it's a ticket.
Having both ears covered (or filled) makes it difficult; if not down right impossible to be able to hear warning sounds when you drive.

Will this setup mute the radio/music then return to back to normal? Thanks too, Chaz. Pardon my ignorance.

Cute. But you can't fool me, you need tin cans so the string won't pull out.
