Lincoln LS presents a classy profile, with its long wheelbase and chunky rear end. With its angular lines the LS shares little in appearance with the rest of the Lincoln family, apart from its Lincoln badge and waterfall grille.LS styling has been updated for 2003. The grille trim, front fascia, exterior mirrors, rear deck lid, tail lamps, license plate trim and wheels are all new this year. The new look is complemented by dual chrome-tipped exhausts on all models. Also new for 2003 is a keyless entry keypad on the driver's door, a feature long-time Ford and Lincoln-Mercury buyers like. New folding side mirrors incorporate puddle lamps, which illuminate the front door area when a door is unlocked with the key fob or keypad, or when a door is opened
Lincoln LS shares some of its chassis architecture with the more expensive Jaguar S-Type. The two cars do not share bodywork, however, so they look nothing alike.
