In the same way you could look at -
1. Ferrari - Fiat
2. Audi - VW
3. Mercedes - Chrysler
4. Aston Martin - Ford
5. Lamborghini - VW
6. Bentley - VW
7. Bugatti - VW
8. Maserati - Fiat

Not really fair - I am about to order one

Now that you mentioned an excellent point:1. Ferrari - Fiat (need we say anything about this?)
2. Audi - VW (Both very strong companies)
3. Mercedes - Chrysler (The reason why Mercedes is filled with plastic and horrible designs)
4. Aston Martin - Ford (No comment)
5. Lamborghini - VW (gallardo has same a/c controls as an Audi A4.....)
6. Bentley - VW (Flying spur is based of VW Chasis......but bentley gt is great
)7. Bugatti - VW (Come on its a bugatti)
8. Maserati - Fiat (How many fiats we see running around in the US anyways?
)

My Ride: 525d se auto. black sapphire, 17" 5 spoke 138 style alloys. dark poplar trim, charcoal flat weave cloth, bluetooth phone prep, dimming rear view and side mirrors, lumbar support, heated front deats, phone cradle
In this months What Car? Magazine it has a comparison between a 650i cabrio and a XK8 cabrio. They say the XK8's Better handling, more nimble, better ride, sharper brakes than the 650i 
but power and quality and interior the 650i is better , overall test winner was the new XK8.

True... However I can believe them to some degree, as they make a valid point of the XK8 weighing 290kg's lighter than the 650i, On paper at least the XK8 should outhandle the 650i.
