Oh man, my mind went to a funny place and then got dark... Touga could work as a van. I'm thinking more in terms of anime!Touga than movie!Touga. So you have the stereotypical sex van with the mattress in the back. And then you also have the stereotype of child molesters trying to lure children into their van. Both have significance to Touga considering how he was raped by his adoptive father and how he is a regular Casanova. Although granted, it doesn't seem like the classiest of cars... Touga is very suave and high-class. But I don't think a sports car fits him because he aspires to be like Akio; but is still not considered to be at his level.

This is much deeper than what I was going to say.  I was going to say that Touga would refuse to go into the car wash and would go looking for a private jet wash.

Speaking of aircraft, a black helicopter sounds right for Mikage, and of course C-ko can change into a UFO.

And Saionji would be a rickshaw.

I like Miki being a smart car! Maybe Movie Miki would be this car once he got over his "cowardness" http://www.whydontyoutrythis.com/2014/0 … cient.html. ( a very nice parallel to not being tested even if it is efficient and would be very progressive as a very smart Miki is and his need to stop worrying. Or I just want to get the word out on it.)

I think Saionji, if he is not a traditional car of some sort, would be a motorcycle or dirt bike. He has been shown outside camping and has his violent tendencies, so a vehicle that can handle offroading and if not used with control can harm you with gruesome results would be appropriate. Also, Toga would be his driver in my mind and we know he can drive them.

Oh! Mangorabbit sparked an idea in me.
So Saionji's personality is described as traditional. But really it's not. It's archaic.
I think Saionji would be really interesting as a chariot. Specifically a gladiator chariot.
It incorporates his violent tendencies and is archaic rather than simply traditional. Another subtle, incredibly subtle, aspect is that the chariot is the basis for a lot of modern vehicles; namely the choice of spacing on train tracks. This could tie in with his thirst for something eternal, bringing reincarnation into the mix in a way.

My mind has again traveled to a dark place. Ruka would make some sense as a kamikaze attack plane. They were used with a very specific mission that the pilots knew involved giving up their own lives for the sake of a greater good. Or so they thought at least.

Now I kind of wonder what Tsuwabuki would be as a vehicle. I see some potential in a bicycle, possibly starting with training-wheels and then losing them. If I were going to direct some sort of 'car scene' for Tsuwabuki I would have Vehicle!Tsuwabuki be a bike but that he sees himself as a motorcycle. The end of his conflict as a vehicle would be signified by the sounding of an engine. 'Do you feel the throb of the engine?' Basically it would mean that to understand adulthood he has to lose a form of innocence and, by extension, freedom. This would be symbolized partially in the need for money to pay for gas for a motorcycle , something a bicycle doesn't need. Another level to this is that while a bicycle does not require you to pay money for gasoline it has a smaller scope than a motorcycle does, kind of like childhood.
