Trivia:
The piston cup is an obvious reference to the famous NASCAR race, The Winston Cup. moreGoofs:
Continuity: Before the final race, when Chick flashes the silver C at Lightning, the reflected C is open toward the rear of Lightning but it should be open to the front, just like it is on Chick. This backwards reflection is also shown during the race when Chick uses it to blind Lightning temporarily. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Lightning McQueen: Okay, here we go. Focus. Speed. I am speed. One winner, forty-two losers. I eat losers for breakfast. Breakfast? Maybe I should have had breakfast? Brekkie could be good for me. No, no, no, focus. Speed. Faster than fast, quicker than quick. I am Lightning.

I thought the story looked very lame from previews, and the concept didn't appeal to me. But when I saw an early screening I was surprised, it was well written and well executed. They didn't overload the movie with automotive jokes, which I think would have hurt the story and character development. Owen Wilson's voice is great for his role. Overall, it's on par with other Pixar films, even if it may not be their best so far. The animation is superb, definitely the best they've done. Giving something like cars distinct personality and characterization seems like it would be pretty tough, and they do a great job with it. See this movie the day it opens.
