I'm so glad to hear that- I finally saw "Cars 2" today, and it really was a wonderful movie. It's a shame that it isn't getting the same praise as Pixar's previous films, but as far as I'm concerned, their creative team is still going strong!

My wife and I loved it. We saw it twice over the weekend. Does anyone know what make and model Miles Axelrod is supposed to be?
