Jaguar fans were concerned when Ford announced the new Jaguar S-Type would share the same platform as the new Lincoln LS. But the two cars arrived on the scene with different characters. What they do share is excellent handling and great acceleration performance.With a pedigree as good as this, the LS should be world class -- and it is. In fact, with its competitive pricing the LS is a serious alternative to the traditional BMW for a driver who wants a luxury sedan that is fun to drive. The LS is the sort of car for the person who wants to be different from the others in the country club driving up in their Mercedes-Benz or BMW.
