"Cars" është më shumë se një film familjar për gara; është një alegori mbi ritmin e jetës moderne dhe humbjen e lidhjes me komunitetin. Filmi kombinon humorin, emocionin dhe vizualet mahnitëse për të krijuar një botë ku automjetet kanë personalitete, histori dhe marrëdhënie njerëzore.
Commentator (Bob Cutlass): “Dhe McQueen po e lëshon Pulushin Iks pas! Sa ka mbetur? 3 xhiro!”
Darrell Cartrip (in Albanian): “Po e bën për Burimin e Nxehtë, o shok!”
