I like it. At this point in time, I think the best theory is that cars are made in stork-like way. Parents make an order, and the manufacturer delivers, perhaps depending on the funds and desires of the parents.

Still, I'd like to think that what they end up looking like isn't entirely predetermined upstream. In Cars 3, Cruz wasn't built to be a racer, especially not in her family's eyes, yet she turned out to be a very fine racer. Maybe the lemons weren't intended to be that bad, but turned out to be a big mistake from the creators' part. It also doesn't seem that McQueen has any family, yet alone a wealthy one, considering he has to rely on a measly sponsor like Rust-eze.... Who knows, maybe some racers are made for racing, without ever having a family.
