    as a Lincoln LS owner. one thing i can tell you is, never under estimate this car, it weighs less then a Mustang, makes good power, and handles like a dream.

    Love my ‘01. Definitely not a grandma car! I wish they could have marketed it better because the LS is a surprisingly great car. Fully loaded luxury (even had a/c seats!) and quick to hit highway speed. A smooth, boat-like ride, but with the handling near to a Focus. Plus it’s half Jag due to the suspension and the XJ8 engine. Future classic? I think so.
