The story in Cars 2 is all over the place and the car universe only makes the whole thing more abstract.
The story includes car races, terrorism, environmental issues, cold war agents, international stereotypes, hacking, secret world orders formed by victims of production malfunctions, the rejection of old friends and a whole lot of meaningless action and comedy skits.
And then someone decided to add the queen of England to sum this up as if she even had anything to do with the rest of the story.
It's brainstorm of references run wild. Even if you manage to follow along and get all the references, you gotta wonder why anyone wanted you to see this.
And what's bad about all you said? Crazy movies can be quite nice
It's just pointless is all.
Cars 1 had something to say about urbanisation.
Cars 3 had something to say about getting old and dying.
Cars 2 had some 3d models doing slapstick comedy action while clinging to references to everything imaginable, but nothing to say.
