Also like Gobusters.

Any idea what his style's like? I'm not familiar with his works, so it doesn't get me excited like I was for Komura, Inoue and Takano.

Nah, skirts are too iconic to permanently phase out like that. It's probably just situational. Kamakiri-Ohger is inherited by the monarch of Ishabana, so it makes sense for that to be unisex for consistency. Skirts in racing are usually more associated with grid girls, while the pit crew wear functional clothes.

Without the lips, then all you'd have left is a tire. Lips are iconic for PR fans anyway, so I'm cool with them.

Now that we have a better look of the suits, Boon Red actually reminds me of Kamen Rider Kaixa. Anybody else see it?

I'd be more interested to see how a vehicle-themed Sentai would be designed without a seatbelt buckle, considering how it's already been done twice before by Go-Onger and Kiramager. Might be cool if the Boonboongers actually press the eject button to demorph though.

Agreed. I have mixed opinions so far, but this could turn out to be the next Ryusoulger. Who knows?

They have 1 tire on the helmet, 2 tires on the back, and 2 tires on the shoes. So, they have 5 tires in total? More juicy weirdness! Haha.

I think the weirdest part about the tires is their orientation. 2 on the boots facing forwards and the other 3 facing sideways. Like, are they just decorative, or do they have a purpose?

Sounds bad*ss! These primarily white suits look like they were made to be added to.

Of course, the one car maker in Japan that loves retro iirc.

3 Rangers, 1 car. Like Akibaranger. The poster is so cool to look at as well, with the car and the sunrise as a backdrop. It's like those Heisei Era Kamen Rider posters. Especially Build's.

Unlike Go-Onger, this Sentai seems to be advertised as a 3-core initially, so I guess Black and Orange are more comparable to Black Bison and Green Sai, albeit appearing much earlier. Interesting how both Gotchard and Boonboonger are minimalistic with the amount of heroes.
