Well, not children, but boys. And even there there are some specifics. As I heard from one blogger: "As a child, I always played with soldiers, not cars, because I wanted to be a general, not a taxi driver." Add to this such factors as poverty or the fact that there are many more victims of car accidents than from bears and sharks. Plus, the cultural subtext. So by making the car the main theme you still risk alienating part of the audience. Returning to the riders, even on this site DreamSword considers Drive a fake Kamen Rider.
