Looks to be a no, as they aren't a creature in the same way that Theros' Gods were creatures.
Vehicles do look to be interesting, as a kind of alternative to equipment. The crew mechanic is largely forgiving, and can be done at instant speed, but vehicles are vulnerable to creature removal and combat damage, so....
Aetherworks Marvel is a nice source of value, and isn't artifact specific; though it'll take awhile to trigger. Of course, the fact that energy is a global resource means that it could also just be an amazing "mana rock" if there ends up being enough other worthwhile energy cards.
Propeller Pioneer shows off a reasonable mechanic, as anything that can act as a miniature Myr Battlesphere can find a spot in the right decks. It'll be nice to see what other creatures we get with the Fabricate mechanic.
I'm sad that the energy mechanic almost certainly means no charge counters. My Vorel deck may not want many new cards from Kaladesh, which will be good my wallet. The fabricate mechanic has potential, especially if it's on artifact creatures.

However, the Energy mechanic plays with Proliferate, which Vorel also likes. Get those Contagion Engines and Inexorable Tides ready so you can be so energetic.
Dwarf tribal; rejoice! I love her synergy with Vehicles as well, seems Dwarves Driving Vehicles.dec will be a thing.

My Commander decks:
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Oops! All Chandras.
Prime Speaker Zegana - Draw for Power.
Pir & Toothy - Counterpalooza.
Arcades, the Strategist - Another Brick in the Wall.
Zacama, Primal Calamity - Calamity of Double Mana.
Edgar Markov - Vampires Don't Die.
Child of Alara - Dreamcrusher.
Depala, Pilot Exemplar is a step in the right direction for Boros legendary creatures. She's still about smashing face, but she grants card advantage while doing that.
Gonti and Depala are both very interesting. Obviously the later is going to rely heavily on cards printed in her block, but she's a great mana sink if your deck's full of ramp already.

So, Rashmi is a Jori En, Ruin Diver that let's you cascade now and then, triggers faster and with "better" colours for 1 more mana. Seems pretty decent imo. Jam ALL THE Sprout Swarms

Holy crap, Rashmi looks good. Might finally get around to making that top of the library deck I've been trying and failing to build with Intet. Rashmi is just so much easier to use (though also less reliable).
Rashmi is good because you always at the bare minimum will get to draw an extra spell each turn you cast a spell. Note, this turns Counterspell into Dismiss or better.
My god... Rashimi completely takes a crap on Jori En. Like... there is almost no reason to use her aside from the izzet identity. Yes I know mythic vs rare but come on!

To the people that say that a card needs to be a higher rarity because of Limited... I hate you guys so much. I present to you with this.
For real though, I'm a bit skeptical that we'll have a high enough density of really good Vehicles to make even a Depala deck built around them worth it for anything other than flavor goals. The flagship is cool, but if that's the absolute top end in this set I don't think the archetype will have what it takes. I'm gonna play the hell out of some Pilots in draft, though.
