Does the car you drive affect other drivers' attitudes towards you?

Well, as above really. I've recently moved from a diesel mondeo to an ST220 variant.

It seems now that everyone wants to out-drag me at the traffic lights, overtake me when it's clearly not safe to do so, cut me up, not let me out of junctions as much, and sit right up my back bumper in an attempt to prove some point.

I don't think my driving style has changed and I've never been a particularly aggressive driver anyway. Is it the bright paint scheme, the huge shiny wheels or big shiny tailpipes that brings out the hatred in people? My car doesn't look 'chav' by any stretch of the imagination, but it does seem I'm getting the wrong sort of attention from the wrong sort of people!
