And if the sound quality isn't enough to make you say, "shaazam", the method of loading the CD's will. With the touch of a small button at the base of the screen, servo motors dislodge the screen from the dash and pivot it forward exposing the slot to load and unload CD's. Touching the button again reverses the process and the screen smoothly resumes its position.
As mentioned, this nifty screen also displays the navigation system, which features voice prompt technology. As you motor along your merry way, a pleasant sounding voice (female I believe) gives you verbal directions to assure you arrive safely at your destination. The beauty of this system is that you can ignore the sweet voice without fear of wrath. If you miss a turn, the electronic companion quickly adapts to the diversion and offers up a revised route. Not a word of criticism is ever uttered.
Exterior styling nicely blends the design cues of performance and prestige. To the educated eye, there are plenty of clues to support the performance characteristics of the LS. Take for example the 17-inch wheels and low-profile 235 / 50VR17.0 tires, combined with the chrome exhaust tips peeking out from beneath the corners of the rear bumper.
Yes, Lincoln could have thrown on a wild body kit to emphasize the performance image of the 2003 LS, but fortunately they resisted the temptation, and I might say with my full support. If you own an LS you won't need to brag about its performance capabilities, Lincoln advertising will do that for you.
When swooping through tight hairpins and effortlessly ascending the steepest of mountain passes there is something gratifying about knowing that the heart of a wolf beats beneath the conservative, well-refined image of the LS.
