Cars (PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, Windows)/Unused Dialogue
This is a sub-page of Cars (PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, Windows).
| To do: This is really only the beginning. There's plenty more unused lines, both from the announcer as well as other characters, playable and otherwise. |
The Announcer
The Piston Cup race announcer has quite a few lines that aren't used, with variants for each playable character. These lines meant to play when the player hits a wall or another racer, but the announcer doesn't say anything if this happens in the final game.

| Bad news for Chick Hicks. Not that the fans are too worried. Not after last season. | Chick Hicks | |

| Whuh-oh! Looks like Cartrip's gonna be spending some time in a body shop this weekend! | Darrell Cartrip | |
| OH! Donated some paint back there! | Darrell Cartrip | |
| Whoa! Things take a turn for the worse for Darrell Cartrip! | Darrell Cartrip | |
| Watch out, Cartrip! Accidents may happen, but they don't always have to. | Darrell Cartrip | |
| Now that's a bit of bad luck for Cartrip! Can he make up that time? | Darrell Cartrip | |
| Uh-oh! Things just took a turn for the worse for Doc Hudson! | Doc Hudson | |
| Now that's gotta hurt! | Doc Hudson | |
| Whuh-oh! Some trouble with Hudson! We all remember what happened last time. | Doc Hudson | |
| Folks, you might think that's gonna put him out of it, but let's not forget who we're talkin' about here. | Doc Hudson | |
| Doc Hudson takin' a nasty spill out there. Hope he's okay. | Doc Hudson | |
| Oh, you know Doc's feelin' disappointed about that. | Doc Hudson | |
| Oh, that was a tough break. Let's see if Weathers can make back that time. | The King | |
| Woah, Number 43! What happened out there? | The King | |

| Whoo! Good ol' boy racin'! McQueen is fine after going for that ride, but he'll lose some spots! | Lightning Mcqueen | |
| Ouch! That's gotta hurt! | Lightning Mcqueen | |
| There's concern in the stands for Number 95, Lightning McQueen. Well, looks like he's okay and will continue racing. | Lightning Mcqueen |
Doc Hudson
Several characters have dialogue for being towed by Mater. As the characters with this dialogue match up to the character list included in the camera presets for the unused towing minigame, it's likely that these were intended to be used there.
| Audio | Transcript | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Good, you're here. Got your tow cable? | Being approached by Mater | |
| Yep. Wound up in the tulips. | Being approached by Mater | |
| Attaboy, Mater. Let's get going. | Getting grabbed by Mater's tow hook. | |
| *Muttering* | Likely getting sick from being towed too fast. | |
| Mater! You mind taking it a little easy? | Being towed recklessly. | |
| You gonna get me back in one piece or not? | Being towed recklessly. | |
| Mater, you need some driving lessons! | Being towed recklessly. | |
| Easy on the suspension, Mater! | Being towed recklessly. | |
| Take it easy, Mater. I'm not as young as I used to be. | Being towed recklessly. |
Fletcher
In addition to the lines regarding being towed, Fletcher also has dialogue for being selected, despite not being playable.

| Ah, the service has arrived. Hello there, old chap! | Being approached by Mater | |
| I daresay I've gotten myself quite stuck. *Chuckles* | Being approached by Mater. | |
| A heroic saviour and his trusty tow hook, eh? Splendid! | Being approached by Mater | |
| Ohh... Ugh... | Possibly getting sick from Mater driving too fast. | |
| Are you a licensed transport!? | Being towed recklessly. | |
| Woah, I think you've loosened something! | Being towed recklessly. | |
| This is-- Woah.. Unacceptable! | Being towed recklessly. | |
| Ah, to be young and British. | Being selected by the player. | |
| Let's show these yanks how it's done, what? | Being selected by the player. | |
| I daresay you're not very good at this! | Unknown. The filename puts this with his other "selected" lines but it definitely doesn't sound like one. |
Lightning McQueen
Located in the folder for Lightning McQueen's voice clips (Audio/Dialogue/ENG/LM) is a series of lines related to leaving Radiator Springs. From the contents of the clips, it would appear they were meant to play upon trying to enter Ornament Valley and Tailfin Pass before they've been unlocked.

|---|---|---|
| Nah, not yet. I'm gonna wait and go up there with Sally later on. | Approaching the entrance to Tailfin Pass. | |
| I should probably wait for Sally. | Same as the above. | |
| Hmm, Sally might get mad at me if I go up there without her. | Also the same. | |
| I don't think I'm gonna leave town just yet. | Possibly a catch-all line for both areas. | |
| Nah, Sheriff's taking a nap over there, I don't want to wake him. | Approaching the entrance to Ornament Valley. | |
| I think I'm gonna stay around town for now. | Another catch-all for both places? |
