By "impotent authoritarian", do you mean "black dudes"? Because they're the only people driving these things in my area these days. Oh, and old Buicks.
I mostly see young punk types with them, and then they turn the whole car into some kind of art car thing. I don't think I've ever seen one of these on the road locally where the car was in any sort of nice condition. I think the authoritarian stereotype is probably true in some places...where I'm at, though, it seems like the stereotype is that people buy these cars to purposefully fuck them up as some kind of anti-cop statement.
I skyped the guy who does this channel about checking out the Honda CRZ that I had, I felt like it was a car right up his alley: a bland, generally unfun attempt to create a sporty hybrid 4 years before the BMW i8. I lived in MD not too far from where they did most of their filming, but he was so backlogged with other requests.
I traded that CRZ in for a 2015 Focus ST. It's fast and fun.
