To sum up my thoughts, Aston Martin and Porsche do not compete with each other....Aston Martin is on a higher (more exclusive) plane.

I disagree. Porsche is right there at the very top of the automotive pile. An echelon above Ferrari, even. There's something called history, and Porsche has oodles more history than Aston, with the most successful racing record out of any company in the world, yes, better than Ferrari. The 911 is
the definitive supercar, the most recognisable. It has prospered when so many others came and died. The company has pushed the envelope when others rested on their laurels. A Porsche does everything a Ferrari does, (admittedly with less flamboyance), and of late it does everything better. The Porsche name is synonymous with speed and desirability. Why are there many around? Cos theyre that good, cos the company's good at making them at affordable prices. For what these cars do they are great VFM. Porsche lets your dream come true when Ferrari keeps it tantalisingly out of reach. Maybe thats the common mistake to make. An Aston is not more prestigious than a Porsche, not to me anyway, not by a long shot. More snooty, yes! Trust me i see the pretentious b*stards driving around in them!
