Bought a 1996 LHS used in 2007 w/ 102,000 miles. Drove it until 2011, it had 230,000 miles on it when I sold it. Never a problem with the electronics, engine or trans. It was one of the best cars I've ever had.
These 90s Chrysler cars (known as cab forward designs) remind me of my grandparents who had a ‘96 Concorde. BTW, KCTS9 (the station mentioned here) is my hometown PBS station, which makes me proud!
joe beastyg yeah, these cars do get up when you floor it down.. My cousin used to have one back in 2000/2001, & and I was very impressed with the takeoff.. Miss those days!!!! Ahh.. So much fun.
Just watched a MotorWeek review for the 83 Chryslers and these of 1993 were light-years ahead. It is unfortunate that what is left of Chrysler today or what is referred to as Dodge, are very uninspired designs.
my grandmother used to have a 95 concord. it was a very nice car. i remember it riding very smooth and quiet. it performed very good for its size, not only that it had very good build quality and feel to it, unlike many chrysler products. most of the lh cars were good vehicles especially the intrepid concord lhs and neon, but not the sebring
Paid $200.00 for my 97 LHS Last of this body style, Love the car!!!!! starting to rust under the plastics on the rockers but still looks great and drives AWESOME!!! and pretty quick to for a big car.
The all-new 1990 Nissan 300ZX V6 engine was strikingly similar in power & multi-valve configuration. Chrysler did a good job, but wasn't that advanced after all. I owned both new.
I drive a 1995 Dodge intrepid on twisty country roads. The car is a marvel of superd handling, and it's ability to take corners at high speed amaze and delight me at every curve! Yes the car sat for 6 or so years before being put back on the road, but with 169,000 miles the car uses no oil, and the transmission is always in the right gear. I know chrysler car's are famous for being, either good or bad. I guess i got a good one. so there!
These were some of the best riding cars of the day. The only issue They had was the water pumps failing around 30-40k miles. Otherwise they were solid dependable cars! Fairly quick for a heavy V-6. The seats were amazing. The car was a way nicer ride than either ford or GM had at the time, excluding the crown Vic cars.
It was a luxury car. I bought mine from Autoland, Springfield NJ. $27,237 Pricey but a dream car of the time. Young heads don't understand nothing about cars. I'm 78 now, wish I had another one as my retirement car.😊
I bought a used '96 LHS back in 2000. It was a nice car except it started falling apart around 80,000 miles. I liked the design and performance but the overall reliability was poor.
My parents had a 1994 Chrysler concorde and it started calling apart around 130,000 miles in 2005. Car was exceptionally maintained too. I remember the wheels being really hard to clean though
I had one too. Biggest mistake ever. At around 60k miles, the engine seals started leaking. Fuel rail started leaking too. In and out of the dealership for so many problems. I was so sick of this POS, I wanted to set it on fire. That was the last time I bought a Chrysler product. I think Chrysler makes it a point to buy inferior vendor parts for their cars and trucks. Buyer beware.
I had a 1993 LHS. Great ride, incredible room esp in the back seat. Problems were the A/C system that I had to have worked on twice right after warranty expired, and bad front ball joints after about 50,000 miles. Never had those kind of problems in any other car, and I’m not a hot rod type driver.
I have a 88 Lebaron coupe and the last year they made them these wheels came on the GTC trim. I saw a picture in a brochure of a black GTC with these 16" rims and it looked awesome. As far as cleaning it does seem like a lot of nooks to get into but I have the 'pizza' rims now and those 19 holes are a bitch to clean because they are unpolished aluminum in the holes and you have to scour each hole with a scratch pad with 2 fingers. 76 total holes of hell...
@@eaglevision993 my parents had a concorde with those rims as a kid and they were horrible to clean. We eventually would just clean the outside and not Inside each and every hole.
The LHS wasn't all that faster than the 3.8 ltr v6 Imperial and New yorker fifth avenue it replaced. The only real difference was that the LHS and New Yorker handled better and had more trunk room. Not saying a whole lot for a clean sheet design?
I had one brand-new back then. Gorgeous car; drove beautifully, dumb name. They should've called it, "Newport" , a name from the past. As far as names go, Dodge should've called their current Challenger GT, a "Challenger Rallye"; retro name from the past. American Cars called "GT" typically coincide as Mustangs; another dumb choice.
Although these were drastic improvements over the Chrysler products they replaced which doesn't say much BTW they were not proven to be very reliable. I can't remember the last time I saw an LHS or a Chrysler New Yorker. Even ones with rims and drivers with gold teeth couldn't even pick these up from the local buy here pay here lots anymore.
We had one over 200k car was in the family for over 15 years never lost the transmission still shifted decent actually but it had the trans fluid changed with every 3rd oil change! Was a great car to us
On the flip side I see plenty of these, many of the LH platform cars still wizzing around where I live. Plus many of them are for sale with a couple or several hundred thousand miles.
Large Hunk of Sh**! This was quite the turning point for Chrysler styling though, except Ford beat them to the punch with the '88 Continental and Taurus models.
Wow, guy watches, or maybe doesn't even watch a review of a car that was pretty good at the time, and proceeds to complain. We're you selling another brand at the time, and you hated these, because it out performed it?

I had one of these in college. These cars were amazing. They were fast and drove oh so smooth. And talk about comfort - I miss it!

I didn't think they would take it through the slalom but it did pretty damn well for such a big car!
"Chrysler says they took inspiration from Bugatti, we think it looks more like an Oldsmobile" 😂😂😂
Owned a 96 my mom loved it so much I bought her a 97,I miss those cars so bad.
When Chrysler still made decent cars. I miss those times.
The hell cats???
Ew também!!

@@SoBe80s. Mercedes merger gutted everything of value Chrysler had left, with Benz laughing their way to bank.
@@Pan_Galactic_Gargle_Blasterit also gutted the Diamond Star Motors between Chrysler and Mitsubishi, which pretty much killed Mitsubishi also.

i had a '95 concorde, 3.3L that was a really decent car! the 3.5L was a great engine..took the competition about 20 yrs to catch up.
Yes!

Very nostalgic about this intro.

@@orbitflyer9275 dodge trucks are actually good. My dad had a 2000 dodge dakota that reached 230,000 miles and never needed any repairs.
@@dabnisbrickey6527 they are tough trucks
I have one and love it a 1996
5:26 this isn’t an LHS. It has a column shift. This is probably just a Concorde. At least some of the shots.
Huh? At 5:26, you can clearly see the console-mounted gear shifter. It’s not mounted on the column. The shifter is on the floor.
The Concorde has a different dashboard.
That’s an LHS.
i love to riding this car
This is my first car have a 94 and would buy another one if i had to love it
I had a 1993 LHS. Great ride, incredible room esp in the back seat. Problems were the A/C system that I had to have worked on twice right after warranty expired, and bad front ball joints after about 50,000 miles. Never had those kind of problems in any other car, and I’m not a hot rod type driver.
I miss this show
Still on every week...PBS and Velocity.
They have a youtube channel as well, still doing modern reviews in the same format.
it be nice to see the NY come back on a long wheel base 300
This was YEARS before the 300M, which was introduced as a 1998 model.
I think it hadest the biggest back seat in its class.
V6 3.5L 0-60mph in ONLY 9.1 seconds.. this is so funny!!! wow.. love all these memories from the past.. thank you for this awesome video man!
Right! The basic full size pickups do 0-60 faster than that now!
@drummerblade for its size, this car WAS sporty.
New Yorker had front split bench seating!
GOT ONE NOT TO LONG AGO LIKE THE SUNROOF OVERALL GREAT CAR
I want to get a set of those spyrograph rims.
I had them and they are a hell to clean.

Too bad these didn’t have the front split bench seating!
É diesel??
Who's here because of Johnny Nemonic?
in europe, 9.1 seconds for a 0 60 mph is considered a good number still in 2020, lol.
Such an inferior market compared to american one

Audio & video are WAY out of sync.
lol love how they try to make this car sound sporty
It is a very sporty car to drive, lol ! Have you ever driven one, you stupid bitch? I bet not .
My 96 hits 60 under 9
mpg?

Kip Paseo even the best wear out in time. Chrysler Transmission problems don't help either..... though
We had one over 200k car was in the family for over 15 years never lost the transmission still shifted decent actually but it had the trans fluid changed with every 3rd oil change! Was a great car to us
The next generation of Intrepid's / Concorde's were better, but then Chrysler was sold to Mercedes...
The End.

This is one ugly car, lol. Looking at the front. But, almost all the early 90's American Cars are Ugly anyway, including GM's.
