Not as good as Thomas or Bob the Builder, but it is more diverse than you think

I don't think the stereotypes are bad. They're just ways people act, and they exist in reality too. It also shows that there's nothing wrong with liking "boys" stuff like cars and being very dramatic and like "girly" things like opera. Nobody judges Mr Carburettor for being himself. Everyone is treated equally no matter what they sound like. No kid is going to think stuff like all Italians are loud and dramatic just by watching the show. They will recognize a person by their face and accent. Not the way they act.

No1 star of my childhood

This show is very cute and great for school-age children; I am biased because I enjoyed this at ages 5-7. It's got some great lessons regarding trust, friendship, and speaking up for yourself. The show puts an emphasis on karma; in one episode, Maxi refuses to listen and gets sand in his engine; it blows up and he ends up with a tractor engine, much to his horror. In another episode, Roary works strong and hard and ends up beating Maxi! As for the message about talking cars, just remember this: It's FICTIONAL, and the messages the show instills are more important than the species of the characters. Also, as a fan of this show, I wanted to clear some things up. Cici may be the only female racer and be pink/purple, but she's not a ditz as you've stated. Tin Top is a big ditz, though. Also, it doesn't matter how many female characters are present, it matters how they're represented. Cici is on equal footing with all her brothers, and families with only one child of a certain gender aren't uncommon. Also, I like the way this show represents its male characters. It makes it clear that males don't have to be manly, tough guys. All the male characters are quite effeminate. Maxi acts like a DIVA/PRIMADONNA, Drifter is a docile, submissive, and sensitive guy, Roary has a sweet, nurturing personality and Tin Top is highly emotional as well as ditzy and also gets frightened easily.

The world's most fastest car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This show is awesome. It's about an anamorphic race car named Roary. It's sure to be a classic of the age! It's rival, FiFi and the Flowertots, is more like FiFi-Fie-Fo-Fum. You should watch this! Easy on the fuel!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rory the racing car.

This show is stupid and pointless. It contains talking cars and that teaches kids thats cars talk when they don't. The show is boring and annoying. i suggest you never let your kids watch it so you don't get the song stuck in your head.

Very Educational!

Good show, my younger cousin Maxx is a huge fan of it! For little kids, they would say it is just as great as Thomas The Tank Engine.
