For most people over 18, our choice in vehicle is not about being macho, it's about getting the vehicle that does what we need to do. You brag on motorcycles and small cars as being the answer for you. Fine. When I was single and apartment living a little Honda worked just fine for me too. I take it you don't have a family you have to haul around, or have need to bring home lumber or a ton of hay on the way home from work, or pull a heavy trailer as part of your frequent routine. If that's true, or you can afford to have multiple cars, then a little car works for you, but wouldn't for me. And I'm a 'she' so it has little to do with 'macho'.
As for people in bigger vehicles acting like they own the road and little cars all being polite, I think that's more of your own bias showing.
I have a IH 4x4 to haul stuff in and a MBZ 540Sl To take the Wife to dinner in.
My 911 is for weekend driving and Track days.
Each one is a tool used for a purpose. I dont need a SUV to drive 6 miles to work in.
You dont use a hammer to remove a screw you use a screw driver.
