* UsefulNotes/ThePope as a car (albeit a fictional one, not Benedict XVI) makes a brief appearance. As people have pointed out, that would imply that there's a car version of Christianity, with its own Jesus Christ (or [[PunnyName "Jesus Chrysler"]]). How would he even have been crucified? How do cars pray? Was there a car version of UsefulNotes/TheCrusades or UsefulNotes/TheSpanishInquisition? Given that the Popemobile has a glass shield, did a Pope in that world also suffer a murder attempt?

Lightning, who's been told all of [[WesternAnimation/PixarShorts Mater's tall tales]] before, doesn't believe him.
*** Thank you. Yes, now that's probably the closest one it gets. Still, eh... Mater does not try to bring Espionage Tropes to light, as he does not yet even know that his new girlfriend is a spy. Because of that, his story does not sound implausible at all (heard the voice of my date, got out of the pit box, saw a martial arts festival, got into a fight...) - and [=McQueen=] doesn't seem too disbelieving, knowing Mater's previous antics - more like angry and annoyed at having lost the race. Not much of a tall tale, I think. But it's close, yeah.
* There already is a question regarding homologation rules in the original, but in the [[SequelEscalation sequel]], the World Grand Prix openly includes all types of racers, from open-wheel F1 (like [[http://cars2movie.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/FrancescoBernoulli-300x168.jpg Bernoulli]]) through sports (like [[http://cars2movie.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Shu-poster-300x168.jpg that]] Japanese guy) to rally cars (like [[http://cars2movie.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Raoul-poster-300x168.jpg that one]] from France). They even make an attempt at justifying it, saying that the race tracks have various parts, like strips of dirt-track where rally cars would be able to gain an advantage. Not being a racing aficionado, I would like to know how much sense it makes to those who are. Or is the WGP officially a charity event, making the rules more relaxed?
** Repeat the MST3KMantra a few times...there is no possible way you could fairly race F1 cars, NASCAR cars, rally cars, drifters, etc. against each other, ESPECIALLY not with different track sections--on a grand prix track the F1 cars would demolish the others, a rally-style stage would shred the other cars' bodies, which can't take dirt racing and aren't meant to, drifters are entirely different concept.

* In the scene where [=McMissile=] and Holly are outfitting Mater with spy gadgets, they offer to repair him, as his, ahem, less-than-perfect paint job interferes with their state-of-the-art holographic camouflage. Mater, of course, proudly refuses (can't let minor nuisances such as this alter the image of our protagonist, all right). But the reason he gives is that all these dents and scratches were received during his adventures with Lightning. Only... he totally was looking exactly like that when Lightning first met him in the original film. Fine, I could've let that one fly... but from that moment onwards, the holographic camo works like a charm on top of his rust without ever shorting out like it did the first time.
** Holly mentions that she'll 'work around the dents' at the end of that scene, so that's your latter question answered.
*** She does? Weird that I missed the line. Doesn't explain much (if the camo can work around the dents, why did it short out in the first place?), but a handwave is a handwave, ain't an expert on how futuristic holographic spy camouflage should or shouldn't work anyway.
*** I would assume it would've been easier to fix the dents than to have to edit the complex software to disguise it. Holly would've preferred to not have gone to effort of doing something she saw as unnecessary, and only agreed otherwise when she understood how important it was to Mater.
** And for the first one. He's a really rusty car that looks broken already, new dents wouldn't exactly stand out. What I'd like to know is how they got a computer like that to work away from the spy base (or plane, wherever they were). Even in the bad guy's meeting place.
*** The costume-shifting imagery was embedded in the new siren light they installed on top of Mater's cab. And given that Mater could get detailed information on the various villains, it probably included a high-speed wireless data link.
* In all of the Japan scenes from the sequel, how the heck did [[WesternAnimation/PixarShorts Kabuto]] get his modifications back? He should've stayed naked because of Mater the last time they met!
** Maybe all of Mater's tall tales never really happened, and the only thing that actually happened was him telling his stories. That would mean that Kabuto can still exist, but he just never ran in with Mater.
** Suppose someone loses a bet and has to go outside naked as a result. Doesn't mean he's going to be naked when you meet him in a year.
** You don't think Mater gave them back? He has no use for them and Kabuto had already been humiliated. Maybe he was a good winner and gave them back to him.

* The plot kicks off by announcing that Allinol is a replacement, environmentally friendly, sustainable fuel. The idea being that it's going to eliminate the Cars world's reliance on gasoline. Then the BigBad and the "lemon mafia" find and tap one the largest oil fields on the planet. So a plan is hatched to blow up world-class racing cars in a high-profile, Allinol-fueled race so that any belief in Allinol being a suitable gas replacement will be crushed, so that cars will ''still'' have to rely on gasoline and be beholden to the mafia and the big oil companies. Then we discover that the racing cars are gettng blown up because Allinol ''isn't'' really a sustainable, replacement fuel source, but in fact just gasoline modified so that it makes cars blow up when hit by an EMP. Which means there was no Allinol to begin with. Why in the world cook up such a complicated plan to discredit Allinol (and, presumably, by association, other alternative fuels)? Instead, simply announce that, sadly, Allinol doesn't live up to its promise when that new oil field is found, and then own the market more-or-less legally, without any shenanigans or, more importantly, the Cars equivalent of ''murder.'' There's a throwaway line about Fillmore's homemade organic biofuel, but really, who's gonna believe a Hippie Microbus that he has a legitimate, alternative, scalable source of sustainable biofuel versus Axelrod's Allinol "failure", the oil industry and ''the frickin' mafia''. (Especially since, if it's really a viable alternative fuel, you'd think it would get publicity from the fact that ''one of the winningest race cars in history'' uses it exclusively. Except that it's never even mentioned until a line or two at the end.) In conclusion: by the end of the movie the only changes to the status quo are: several world-class race cars get blown up, it is made clear that the mafia is now in charge of the largest oil field in the world, that large-scale, sustainable, alternative fuel sources ''don't'' exist and that the Cars world - except for a few cars who home-brew their own biofuel - is still going to have to rely on gasoline pumped from under the ocean.
** Possibly it's meant as a shout out to James Bond Villains?
** The point is not to discredit Allinol: it's to discredit ''all'' alternative fuels. Axelrod and the lemons plan was to make everyone fear change. Gasoline is safe, so why risk trying anything else? Lasseter explains it pretty well on the commentary.
*** Indeed. Remember that in the end the plots of these movies have parallels with our world. As world supplies dwindle and the adverse effects of relying on oil is known we are desperately trying to find alternative fuel sources, and so are the cars in the ''Cars'' universe. It's the biggest threat to oil companies, and Axlerod wants to put a stop to that.
** Invoked DisastrousDemonstration.
* The climax...I mean, I know {{Batman Gambit}}s rely on the people involved doing exactly what you'd expect them to, but this one's pretty ridiculous. Consider if Mater ''didn't'' figure out how to escape from the DeathTrap - then there wouldn't have been a bomb to blow up [=McQueen=] with, considering the bomb was attached to Mater directly. Then [=McQueen=] likely wouldn't die, considering the bomb in question would be ''nowhere near him'', and the earlier EMP camera plan failed spectacularly. Not to mention, the only other plan I noticed - taking [=McQueen=] out in a fight - wouldn't play into the "alternative fuels are evil" message their plan hinges on. They couldn't ''really'' have put all their eggs in those two baskets, could they?
** Maybe they had some other plan for how to plant a bomb in case Mater didn't escape, and the one attached to him was a fallback plan in case he did.
** Two secret spies, and something of a GeniusDitz, imprisoned together with an obvious means of escape...I imagine it'd be unlikely that neither of the three of them would have come up with it. The villains probably left all of Mater's weapons intact in order to make it all the more obvious.
* At the very end we get told that Allinol is just normal gas with something added to make it go ballistic when exposed to an EM ray. But we get told earlier that it had been analyzed by an independent scientist. How did this scientist not notice that it was gasoline with something added to it? An organic chemist testing the dangers against gasoline would quickly notice the similarities.
** Nothing needs to be added to make gasoline dangerous. It's ''already'' highly flammable. That's why one shouldn't smoke near a ''pump''. The pulse emitter camera, being a ''laser'' gun, just heated the gasoline way beyond a safe ''level''.
** There WAS no independent study? Just a lie by Axelrod?
*** Either that, or the "independent scientist" was in fact paid off by Axelrod to give false information. It's not an unheard-of thing.
*** Possibly ''the Professor'' was the "independent scientist". Presumably he has a public reputation as an honest researcher, ''a la'' most brainy ''Film/JamesBond'' villains, with only those in the spy trade knowing about his shady doings.
** Axelrod really did create a biofuel by improvising when he got stranded in the wilderness, just not something that could be mass-produced and accessible to the world's cars as a viable fuel option in terms of affordability among other things.... But since he actually did create some biofuel, the cars of the world assumed that he could mass-produce it for the world and thought it redundant to personally examine the fuel every time it was put into a racer's tank for the World Grand Prix that he started anyway. That and he's been knighted; he is Sir Miles Axlerod. Seems like a trustworthy person.
*** This is TruthInTelevision. Biofuels on small scales can use cheap products available in mass to make inexpensive fuel (this is the used cooking oil to biodiesel stuff you hear about). On large scales, this "cheap products available in mass" is a very small drop in a very large budget that is global energy demand. In 2014, around 98% of all alcohol produced on the planet is burned in automotives, producing large price shocks in foodproducts to replace a small fraction of their gasoline supply.
* How exactly was pretending to create a completely new and highly dangerous alternative fuel supposed to discredit existing alternative fuels, which are still unpopular anyway and have no known history of causing damage anything like Allinol? Surely the most damage lasting done by Axelrod's plan (apart from the victims of Allinol) was to his own reputation, making the whole sceme completely ridiculous. Sure, he might be sitting on the biggest untapped oil reserve ever discovered, but it's hardly the only remaining source of fuel; heck, Axelrod sold ''an entire oil empire'' as part of the setup for his plan! Was the public really going to want to buy oil from him after the disaster he was responsible for, even if they didn't know it was all a setup?
** There was never any warranty that Axlerod would be the face of the new oil empire, just like he rarely ever made personal appearances at his crime syndicate's meetings. A large portion of the winnings could still go to him without the public knowing he was behind the whole operation. Likely he'd hoped that after the Allinol fiasco, he'd be allowed to fade into obscurity as a celebrity, with people thinking he was too ashamed to show his face in public when he'd actually be rolling in riches.
** It's not unreasonable to assume that public perception against a new thing could be easy to manipulate. Think about this, when a new Self Driving Car crashes, or a new electric car catches fire, it tends to make national news. People then call for these to be scaled back as they are unsafe, regardless of how a handful of cases of these have happened and despite exponentially more crashes fires from regular cars. Note how many people are afraid of flying when like 1 plane crash is like 50 car crashes in terms of frequency. So It's likely Axelrod's plan was to "make a new biofuel on a large scale", have it fail on a massive international scale; which causes people and governments worldwide to scale back support and funding for all other sources of fuel for a long time, which means oil stays dominant for way longer. As for his reputation; Again, he's already running this massive conspiracy. It's likely that Axelrod would pretend to be devastated by the ordeal and publically dissolve his alternative fuel efforts while secretly making more money from oil sales

* It's a minor detail, but why would Miles Axelrod have the bomb that he had strapped to Mater refer to him directly by name when it was deactivated? Not only was it beating a dead horse, since we as the audience know from the deactivation alone that he's the guilty party, but it also strips him of really any viable defense that could otherwise be offered in-universe.
** Easiest answer is RuleOfFunny... but for an in-universe explanation? Pure speculation here, but maybe it was a holdover from the testing? A voice-activation program that advanced would need to be tested out fairly thoroughly so they could make certain that ''only'' Axelrod's voice would deactivate it. So, either to underline that it had worked, as a cute little greeting to their employer, or just as a joke, the programmers added the personalized message "have a nice day, Mr. Axelrod." Since Axelrod wasn't planning on being anywhere near the bomb when it exploded, he likely just rolled his eyes and said "okay, very funny."

But before they went to London they went to Tokyo, and Japan is another country that drives on the left. Even in the movie Japan drives on the left. So why is Mater confused about driving on the left when he should have already experienced something similar in Tokyo?
