In my opinion, no. Aston Martin & Maserati are in their own tier of expensive luxury cars. They cannot be compared with bmw or mercedes because those cars are mostly for the consumer market where as aston and maserati appeal to a select few members of the high class society. Although mercedes is a little closer to those high class cars like maserati, aston, bentley, rolls because mercedes makes high performance luxurious cars like the slr mclaren.
