Exactly, not only that I don't think I've ever seen a cop JDrama where the main cast weren't wearing suits(well except for the forensic team who wear their uniform blue jumpsuits and cap)

Kamen Rider Drive is looking to be awesome. Mr. Belt and a car otaku-policemen. What could be better than that?!

And the tire might be silly but at least it's there for a pretty decent reason. Overall, this feels pretty grounded after some silly concepts in the past.

He will befriend just to spite you.

I'm nervous. This totally feels like a "Hey, ToQGer has great merch sales! Let's do what they're doing but with CARS instead!"

Could the success with Gaim's toy line, which influenced later episodes of the series so they could create more toys, become the new norm for Kamen Rider? IE: "Let's follow the Sentai formula and make it entirely merch-driven"? I hope not. Gaim's success comes from a great story - ToQGer's success comes from collectible toy sales as the series itself while apparently doing better than Kyoryuger in ratings is losing what little adult fans are left.

I dunno. Not optimistic right now.

I am getting Kamen Rider Fourze vibes from that group shot.

I think I might like this series. I like the happy, silly types, I mean look at Den-O, the Imagin were silly, & they've been in like 10 movies already. Plus the tire/sash thingy, sure it may seem like they're cheaping out & they probably are, but think about it, when they make the inevitable Drive Figuarts, maybe Bandai will feel bad for the people losing money right out of their pockets, & just make the sashes interchangeable like Jimba Lemon Arms, because it would just be ridiculous to make 4 different figures of 4 forms that essentially look the same. Dang it, I just went off on a tangent, but nonetheless, the guy seems cool, the suit is awesome, & the form changes, though nothing much, have cool abilities, which I hope will make for a great show.

Yeah, I watched them, back in like 1990 when I was 8.

This is pretty much the same as with Go-Onger and W though... The Gaia Memories work the same way as the Engine souls do.
