Maseratti Quality

I know the old saying...if you have to ask then you can't afford it...but I am seriously considering a Quattroporte but I am worried about the reliability of the car and the quality of service. I remember growing up and having a Jaguar at the shop more than in the garage. When looking at the price on he Quattroporte I worry that I am better off buying an A8 or MB500.

Owners...what's been your experience. I need the car to drive not just to look at in my garage.

The new Quattroporte has been in production for more than 16 months. The new aluminum Jaguar XJ has been in production since around March of 2003. I haven't driven a new Quattroporte, but I drove an 04 XJR and was very impressed with it.
