Trivia[]

• Her design is the same as Flo's, but has top headlights.
• Her name is Laverne in all other known translations (French, Lithuanian, and Polish). As well as in the DVD and Blu-ray subtitles in the scene when she says, "Thank you very much!" in Spanish after singing one of her songs.
  • This might be because Pixar originally planned Carmen to be the same character as Laverne, a showcar that visited Radiator Springs with Flo.
