In this picture it looks a lot like Arielle Kebbel.

Classics - pre 1980: This all depended on the coachbuilders - who built the bodies and the interiors. So, you cannot generalize and say F was better or L was better - it all depended on who built the body. I will say this based on having restored a bunch of these....the quality of the coachbuilders went like this: #1 best - Touring, big gap to #2 - Pininfarina, close behind #3 - Ghia, tied for last Bertone and Scaglietti. Since most of the classic Ls were Bertone, draw your own conclusion. I saw some glitches in early Countachs that were simply outrageous. Muiras - worse. For example, there is no comparis0n between (contempory) 330 GTC body quality (Pininfarina) and that on a 275 GTB (Scaglietti). The 330 is far superior.

The magazine articles from the Lambo 350GT and 400GT period say that the Lambos were of higher quality than Ferrari. Touring as you said was one of the finest coachbuilders, but also Lambo had a clean sheet engine design.

I think modern day F and L cars are about the same. In the distant past, the F cars were ahead.

But, neither were much to write home about.

What you pay for is the engine, the shape, and the badge on the back. The rest is just included it the price.

I agree with this.

Funny you say that as I just did my first actual paid repair on my Maserati in 13 years. I replaced both fuel pumps because one started leaking.

I have jump started it many times, run it in stop and go traffic, given it to umpteen valets, driven it across the desert in the middle of summer at 100 MPH, and in run it driving rain.

Never in it's life one "check engine" light. Always passes smog each year with flying colors.

13 years and aside from regular oil changes, a flat tire from a pothole, $400 wheel alignment, and batteries, it's cost me $1500 in repairs. The body is perfect but some internal chrome plastic pieces have flaked off. The leather is about the same as it left the factory in 2002.
