Obviously the big takeaway here is that McQueen (voiced again by Owen Wilson) is in a horrifying wreck -- echoes of what happened to Doc Hudson (Paul Newman) in the backstory of the 2006 Pixar original Cars.
We're dreading seeing the look on Mater's grill.
And let's face it, that ominous tagline isn't pulling any pistons:

Cars 3 is set to come off the line on June 17, 2017.
