I wonder what exactly is this series' gimmick. It's going to be VERY difficult to top "I'm wearing an orange on my head" with kids.

I'm not sure the 2015 NSX would be much help in cross-promoting. It's a different beast than the previous NSX and has a squishy "summer 2015" release date.

Now, it would be amazingly cool if Honda gave/lent them one of their new $100,000 super cars to use in next years summer movie but I've got a feeling (and a lot of hope) there may be a drive towards automobile-nostalgia with this one.

There's a laundry list of really cool Japanese cars that would lend themselves to being done up in wacky Kamen Rider attire (Mazda RX3, for example) while also letting gearheads sort out which version of each car was being used. :)

I could make a list of fun cars they could pull out. Just about anything from Nissan in the 1970's (240Z, please?), some of the random cars Mazda stuffed a rotary in (RX3 maybe?), Datsun had a few really fun cars other than the Z cars, any model year Skyline, plenty of Subaru's to pick from and that's not even getting into the more out there stuff (tiny vans, city cars, etc).

Depending on how many cars are going to be in the series, and how they want to play this, they could end up with a lot of the car guys watching just to see which cars show up.

Hell, they could make a team of bad guys roll up in Silvias (maybe one each S13, S14 and S15) while the leader is in a Sil80 just to screw with the drift crowd a bit. :)

I doubt it will get anywhere near that nuts. That's a crazy amount of cars and a lot of money for a weekly show (plus trying to find an excuse for a whole slew of cars) but, if they are using cars the way ToQger is using trains, maybe we'll see a lot of cars. :D

"I'm wearing a racecar on my head"...?

I'm still hoping for the miniature car gimmick idea. I want little Kamen Rider Hot Wheel henshin toys.

The pictures make it hard to tell but I'm thinking it's a T based on the modified roof (easier to do with a removable panel) and what appear to be seal lines in the front and back at the top of the door windows (at the A and B pillars).

Other than the roof, it looks like they've touch just about every panel on the car (hood, rear deck lid, fenders, doors, rear quarters, both bumpers).

What's both interesting and odd about their selection of the NSX as the base car is it's no longer in production and is considered a modern classic. Never sold in large numbers, they can be hard to find in good condition (un-modified, not raced, etc) and weren't cheap.

So they picked a car they can't do cross promotional work with (as it's no longer in production), that was more expensive than many other sports cars and can expensive to repair.

So, yea, interesting but in a fun way. Makes me wonder if we won't see a Toyota Supra, Nissan R34 Skyline or Nisan S15 Silvia later in the series.
That would be heaven for me to see modified versions of those cars. In fact, it will be a missed opportunity if the creators don't take full advantage of the custom car culture. Gaim has it's dance crews and Drive should have its car clubs, each with a Rider and a custom vehicle. I think if that happened, even if the story is awful, I'd stick with it. I love cars.

I wonder how Drive will continue the "numbering" theme since Decade... I.e. Decade (1 card); Double (2 memories); OOO (3 medals); Fourze (4 switches); Wizard (5 fingers on the driver); Gaim (6 slices on the visor).

It was broken when Wizard didn't use five rings. Sure, it can be argued that they carried it on "in spirit" with the five fingers on the hand (duh) but the six slices seems like it's seriously stretching it. Unless there's a reasonably obvious example of "7" being used in this series, I think it's safe to say the past two seasons references were just coincidences.

The number gimmick was ditched with Fourze. It was clear that increasing the number of collectible trinkets or items necessary to henshin became ridiculous convoluted once we hit 4. Anyone who thinks otherwise is literally reading too much into things, there will be no number gimmick in Drive.

Ya know, I hadn't even thought of car clubs.

That would be fantastic, especially if they themed them (a drift team, a Bōsōzoku team, a micro/city car team, a VIP team and maybe a truck/SUV team or van team).

If they're using a bracer and you lock a car into the bracer to henshin and get the car, there might be incentive to find as many cars as they can and stuff them all into the show (so they can sell a zillion different Matchbox cars).

They could even go so far as to have a Matchbox sized car you put into the bracer for power ups and a key (like the VW keys that you hit a button on and they "switchblade" open) for the henshin trigger. This would give them two different collectibles to sell and a switchblade key would allow for some interesting henshin poses and a "turn on" mechanic for activating the belt.

Damnit, now I want this show and I know it's not the show they're going to give us. :lolol
