Those cars go with a certain type of position and lifestyle.  I think
that the sort of people who aspire to and attain that sort of position
and status tend to be aggressive and egotistical.  Doesn't seem
implausible that this is reflected in the way they drive.  I expect a
load of people will now post and claim that it is the other way round,
and we'd all be safer drivers if these vehicles were banned, but I
doubt that.  It's a case of you drive what you are, not you are what
you drive.
