This threads difficult to answer briefly for me, I've had the pleasure of driving/riding much varied stuff over the last 2 years and the only thing I can state for sure; is every type of clique looks after it's own.
I've driven tranny/sprinter etc vans - ignored and raged at by execs and yoofs but always given way by other vans/trucks.
I've ridden bikes, very friendly caring 'club' except the chavs wanna race and the middle aged grumps in traffic block filtering routes "cos they can".
I've driven exec cars (jags, C/D class Mercs), everyone treats you with contempt.
Sports cars - every man and his dog simply HAVE to beat you off the line.
not-so-hot hatches; everyone just cuts you up and makes you wait, apparently if you're not in a dominantly stereotyped ride then you're the roads pushover.
I find it funny, really, but I'd hate to be a cabbie.

Meriva type cars - driven by bitter cocks. The act of overtaking one is a direct affront to their emasculated masculinity.

I used to rather enjoy the double takes from people who perhaps expected to see an RB320 driven by a knuckle-dragging, shaven headed multi-tattooed individual rather than a middle aged bloke in a suit

Just a few observations from my perspective in the trade.
Jags and Lexus in old man colours ie light blue, met red and gold tend to be driven by pringle wearing golf club Daily Mail reader types, usually a bit red faced, gold Rolex and a bejewelled shrivelled up wife.
Range Rovers are either pimp spec or country gent spec - pimp black or silver with privacy glass, big alloys, updated lights usually driven by muscly blokes in vest tops with medically altered wife whereas your dark green or dark blue one tends to belong to tweed wearing, telegraph reading snobs who's wife is at home shagging the stable boy while the kids are away at boarding school.
Can spot perspective Kia Sorento owners from a mile off, usually turn up in a gold Picasso, middle aged couple, took early retirement from the civil service, quite often wearing matching coats clutching a copy of What Caravan, but again you do get the lesser pimp look if they have the chrome towel rails on the sides and 18" alloys, then you get a skint version of Range Rover pimp, a truck driver rather than a builder.

Jags ... in old man colours ie light blue I do like to play up to the stereotype in my Arctic Blue XJ-S, with a National Trust sticker on the windscreen, and strategically placed Trilby on the rear shelf, bimbling along doing 30 in a 30. It tends to confuse drivers behind when we get to the NSL and I unleash the V12 loveliness through the Michelin Pilots

>>Honda drivers are 2 types - coffin dodgers doing 23mph every where or yobs<<
Well, I guess I'm more or less a coffin dodger. But because my Honda is a boy racers' favourite and I can still drive it like one all the yobs wave at me!
