Heres why:

Now before you go slamming the factory special edition Ferraris sold in China, you need to understand there is a lot of branding and cultural significance behind it. When I was in Shanghai in May I met with the man that owns the sole rights to import Ferraris into China. I was amazed at how much work he does marketing and branding Ferrari in China to make it Ferrari's biggest market (you can thank this guy for the Chinese GP). To keep it short, that car really isn't distasteful. It boils down to two things, demand and the complex idea of keeping face. Everyone may not agree with these tactics, but they work.

He even showed me the designs for a special edition of the F12 for China (it's not as flamboyant as said 458) and his own personal custom F12 (which is pretty awesome if I am honest).

If I put a big Mjölnir decal on a Volvo 850R wagon, it would be vulgar. Culturally significant and awesome, but vulgar.

I don't think vulgar is the right word, but I see where you are coming from.
