STORY

The LS was a rear-wheel-drive sport sedan built from 2000 to 2006 on Ford's DEW98 platform, shared with the Jaguar S-Type and Ford Thunderbird. It was Lincoln's first modern attempt at a European-style driver's car, offered with a manual-transmission V6 early on and a 3.9L V8. Motor Trend named it Car of the Year for 2000, though sales faded as Lincoln pivoted toward trucks and SUVs.
