Mort de la Lincoln LS

[STONE_COLD]

Elle n'aura jamais réussi à faire le poids face à la CTS.

Une remplaçante RWD sous un autre nom est prévue. La Zephyr (Fusion de luxe) sera l'entrée de gamme chez Lincoln en 2006.

The Lincoln LS will be killed after the 2006 model year.

Production will end in May, Ford Motor Co. told employees at the Wixom, Mich., assembly plant, where the car is built.

The rear-drive LS got off to a promising start when it was introduced in 1999. Lincoln billed it as a combination of European performance and American styling and comfort. It was supposed to kick off a makeover of Lincoln's stodgy car line. But other new cars were canceled as Ford Motor's financial crisis unfolded.

The LS languished with little exterior updating, and sales fell from the nameplate's 2001 peak of 39,787. Last year, Lincoln sold 27,066 units of the LS. A replacement for the LS, developed on a front-drive Volvo platform, is scheduled to arrive in late 2007.
