I feel that Cars 2 definitely would have been better if it just focused on the challenge of McQueen adapting to European style racing rather than the James Bond story for Mater (on a side note, I did enjoy Michael Cain's performance....maybe they should have just done a straight up Spy Cars for him to star in).

The Mater's Tall Tales shorts are much more enjoyable than Cars 2. Goofy stories, told by Mater, that are entertaining and not to be taken seriously or part of the main story.
