Some must be buying the Hondas, because they sell a lot. But the A4 has more of a feeling of performance, so its buyers might be more inclined to drive it aggressively. Ignoring the performance-style Civics, Hondas don't typically induce crazy driving. An A4 is perhaps more likely to. Nobody suggests that premium car drivers don't make bad choices. If I drove a Ferrari, I would get arrested all the time. Maybe once in a while it would be a DUI; but it would likely happen regardless of whether I had been drinking or not. I've owned many cars (10) and driven many more (30+?). My bad behavior vehicle was a Honda CRX when I was young, and my favorite was a Lexus LS430 which I mostly drove under the speed limit. But every vehicle I owned reached it max speed at least once. Most of them did weekly... even my Honda Odyssey minivan. The funny thing about driving is, when you make a mistake, you're more likely to be noticed. And if your vehicle is less capable, you're more likely to make a mistake. Just look at the incidences of Dodge Viper owners who looped their cars (often merely entering a freeway via a curved onramp). To put this into HN terms, Dodge vehicles are like C++. They require extra care to use properly. They can cause you grief from small mistakes, and they can allow you to full on shoot yourself in the foot because of their power. Granted, Dodge trucks aren't especially powerful, but relatively big engines with light rear ends can still cause problems if you're screwing around, especially if you're drunk.
