2004 Lincoln LS

Pros: Powerful, luxurious, good seats front and rear, ride, typical transaction price
Cons: Handling less balanced and sharp than earlier, innocuous styling, unresponsive manumatic, sticker price

Pros: Front and rear styling, some extra safety features
Cons: Generic and mundane interior, lacking any kind of soul

Pros: Super responsive engine. Great handling. No blind spots.
Cons: "crusher" trunk hinges
