The cool thing about Pixar is to make it not the same film, most sequels/prequels put a side character as the lead. Cars 2 was maybe the worst version of that and it made me laugh that it was so bad Mater got demoted all the way to a zoom call for number 3.

Disney wanted to capitalize on the spy thriller genre. Not that deep.

Cars is more enjoyable to watch if you're a car enthusiast. There's tons of Easter eggs and references in all 3 movies. It may not really speak to you, but imo it's a solid love letter to those who live and breathe cars.

You called it, basically: there are parts of the country where they like "Larry The Cable Guy," and they love car racing. They watched the first Cars a lot, and they bought the toys. So Pixar made Cars 2 to cater to them, and to make the money for better, more heartfelt films like Inside Out.
