Seven years after it began, production of the rear-wheel-drive Lincoln LS sedan has reached the end of the line.
Co-developed with the Jaguar S-Type (Ford owns Jaguar), the big Lincoln, currently packing a 3.9-litre V8, received positive reviews. More than 260,000 were built.

If it is they're a nice car. I saw one on my street yesterday. From behind they're amazing looking. The front end isn't great, but its not bad either.

I thought that the Zephyr was meant to be the step-down car of the LS...for those wanting the Lincoln Bling, without the wallet sting....
Bleeding Ford Blue again...

It might be easier to read with Viagra-induced blue-tinged vision.
Not that we know anyone who needs it.

I though Ford was just selling off the LS stock, and the Zephyr was replacing it... so this isn't much of a surprise to me.
Such a sweet car... and then they released the McLaren edition... mmm.

McLaren F1 has nothing to do with Ford what I suspect is that there is an aftermarket company in NA thats also named McLaren.

Someone needs an automotive history lesson. McLaren isn't limited to F1.

Well thank you for the history lesson. I had no idea that McLaren had anything to do with Ford.

Hey guys I have a little info on this, no the Zephyr did not replace the LS. As a matter of fact next year it won't even be called the Zephyr. Ford is revamping the Lincolin line. They are releasing the Mark X (MKX) built on the edge platform, the Zephyr is going to br renamed Mark Z (MKZ), and the LS is being replaced by the all new Mark S (MKS). I think they will all kick ass.

I totally forgot about the MKX. It was a nice looking car.
For those that are interested, pics of the MKS:
